I just recently bought a time machine, but having tried it once I don't think I'm going to buy it.

I read somewhere that it was first said by Napoleon Bonaparte around 1795. I believe the other two gentlemen stole the quote without giving credit to the original author.

But Boney was just paraphrasing Aristotle's Πραγματεία περί Αστεία βίντεο Γάτα στο Διαδίκτυο, written in 426 BCE and published by the ancient Sumerians.

Nonsense, the internet was invented by Isaac Newton, when an Apple (IIe) fell on his head.

I would like to see a sample C# application with a F# utility library!
I get that F# is (mysteriously!) way better at data processing (and apparently expresses equations / formulas with more clarity) but I have trouble relating with it...
It will help greatly if there was some sample WPF / WebMVC app in C# relying on a utility F# library to look at!
Any tip? Links? Suggestions?

Right, plus the clarinet is either the Bb type of instrument, so no C# or F#.

Could be worse: could be a VB type of instrument.

Possibly. I don't follow the smurfs, so I can;t be sure - but the Google images seem to indicate that a turlusiphon works, which excludes it from most VB projects...

It is not whether it works or does not work, it is the way it works.

Indeed, that was my second option. I decided against because the gaffophone indeed works, the problem lies in the player.
But on a second thought...

In my book, From Imperative to Functional Programming, which will be available soon through SyncFusion for free, I do demonstrate that, separating the stateful UI aspect in C# from the database calls, written in F#.
My article How to Think Like a Functional Programmer[^] was the impetus for the book.
Essentially, use C# for stateful things, and use F# for immutable (stateless) computations. It's a pleasure to work in it, though there are some gotcha's with the type inference that can be hair pulling experiences, no different than any other FP language.
I often use VS's Interactive F# to test algorithms because I can poke and prod at the "computation" to make sure I'm doing it right.
