I’ve been working on the Frank syntax lately. Following some help from @talljoe, Frank maps paths from a resource level rather than each HTTP method. Frank can then take advantage of combinators that add HEAD and OPTIONS based on the HTTP methods explicitly supported by the developer… something missing from most web frameworks, the notable [...]

When writing reactive applications using F# asynchronous workflows, it is important to run some operations on the right thread. User interface elements are accessible only on GUI threads and CPU-intensive computations should be done on a background thread. This article describes an extension of F# asynchronous workflows that guarantees correct use of threads using types.

F# asynchronous workflows are mainly used for non-blocking I/O and concurrency, but they provide nice abstraction for writing user interface interactions. This article shows how to avoid blocking the user-interface when performing CPU-intensive processing.

Everyone knows F# agents are cool right?  Well here’s yet another example of how versatile they can be… There was a series of posts last April by Stephen Toub from the pfxteam at Microsoft.  I was reading through some of the posts again the other day and thought some of the ideas presented there would make interesting projects in F# to demonstrate the flexibility and succinctness of the language.  I thought the ObjectPool example would make an interesting project in F# using agents aka MailboxProcessors.
