I've installed F# on Athena for Linux machines. F# is a new
programming language from Microsoft Research for the mono/.NET
environment. It is an object-oriented, functional language that
is strongly related to the OCaml dialect of ML.
The locker it's installed in also contains a recent release of mono/C#
which is required to use it. The mono installation is minimal, and
doesn't include most of the the many tools and utilities mono usually
comes with; however the C# compiler mcs is available.
Basic usage instructions:
add fsharp
fsc <options> file.fs (to compile F# source file file.fs to file.exe)
mono file.exe (to run executable)
add fsharp
fsi (to run interactive interpreter)
Please read files README.running-examples and README.athena in the
fsharp_v1.1.12 locker for more details and pointers to documentation.
