In Visual Studio 2015 Preview you can select from three target F# runtimes:
Is there any benefit to targeting the newer versions? Do they give you access to additional APIs? If so, which ones? It would be great if we could generate a comprehensive list.
F# Core Library Reference
Targeting in marketing is important because it's a part of a holistic marketing strategy. It impacts advertising, as well as customer experience, branding, and business operations. When your company focuses on target market segmentation, you can do the following: Speak directly to a defined audience.
Facebook ad targeting helps you define the audience that will see your ads. It can improve the effectiveness of your campaigns — but it will also affect the cost of your ads (in very simple terms, reaching a larger audience is more expensive than reaching a smaller one).
the act of attempting to appeal to a person or group or to influence them in some way. the targeting of young people as potential buyers. 3. the act of directing or aiming something at a particular group of people.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a complete list of things that you get from referencing F# 4.0. However, looking at the list of new things on CodePlex, there are a few obvious ones:
Lots of new functions in List
, Seq
and Array
modules (so that equivalent functionality is available in all of the modules where possible)
A number of other library additions (search the table for "Library"), including things like tryUnbox
, isNull
, ofObj
, toObj
, ofNullable
, toNullable
but also AwaitTask
for non-generic tasks
Out of the language features, the support for quoting arguments of method calls is definitely one that requires the new F# core.
Also, I'm not quite sure which of these are actually in the preview - I suspect most of them are not.
I was able to generate a complete list of new additions to the public surface area of FSharp.Core for 3.1 and 4.0. The code I used to generate the list of differences is included and can be re-purposed.
