I'm an F# developer, so I'm usually psyched to see F# articles on Hacker News. In this case, though, I can't even tell what this is supposed to be or why I should care.

1. It's a program to translate LeanPub files to html

2. Because F# is fun? An hour or two of work, get something useful done, go do other things. Would you rather spend month-after-month hip-deep in some library or framework or simply solve a problem and move on? I'll take the quick, useful, fun version, please.

Same here, after the video i couldn't tell why would this guy want to finish to the end. He could go with one big try\catch exception that returns empty array in except block.

There's nothing in here about error free programming that I can see, just some fairly basic static typing. Never mind the lack of templating and not treating HTML like the tree structure it is (wrt modifying image sources).
