- Install .NET 6

- Install Visual Studio Code (you probably have it already)

- Install Ionide extension

- Create a new `.fsx` file

- Start writing code :)

This is by far the quickest way to build something simple on .NET. It doesn't even require a package manifest to pull in dependencies.

And it works on all major platforms.

- Install .NET 6

- dotnet new console

- VS Code

- Install C# Plugin

- Start writing code

- dotnet build

Also works for the big brother C#

that involves creating a bunch of project files etc. so it's not quite the same!

One project file :). And project files are a thing in our business :)
