Countdown to F# CTP

In case you didn’t see it over on Brian’s blog, he’s posted a sneak peak at the F# Project System: Part I Part II.

If you’ve used the Visual Studio integrate for our previous releases you might have noticed it was a tad ‘unsavory’. Well the images of the current bits speak for themselves.

And that’s just the tip of the ice berg. The CTP will feature:

  • A substantial improvement / cleanup of the F# libraries
  • An exciting new language feature previously unannounced…
  • MSBuild support
  • Intellisense improvements
  • And more

Hopefully you’re just as excited to get your hands on the new bits as we are to put them online.

Edit: Evidently I need to spend more time proof reading :P

    I really can't wait. I have mixed feelings about how sad that makes me though.

    Will the fsproj files released with the CTP provide a FileCodeModel for F# source?  If not is there any plan on providing that in future releases?

    Our CTP release will not provide a FileCodeModel for F# source, and we do not have plans for adding one with the next release of Visual Studio. It is something we would like to do, but we won't have time for this release.
