Try F# + Fable instead.

View on HN

We do this at work and _everybody_ is very happy with it. Works extremely well!

Nice that you had the freedom to choose a great setup

We also use it at our startup (and a few projects before that) and it works great.

We don’t use elmish tho, but the React bindings. Elmish never worked fir us prior little demos.

Yes - a sign of a competent management imho. We're already an F# and C# shop, however, so Fable wasn't such a big leap.

It’s been a hot minute since I did anything in F# (or .NET, for that matter). How’s the compilation speed these days? And how’s the tooling on Linux? The last time I looked, both were painful.

Improved quite a bit, but still isn’t the fastest compiler ever.

Fabel (the F# to JS/Python) compiler is also ok speed wise.

I’m developing on a Mac but have team colleges using linux. Can’t complain. JetBrains Rider is years ahead of Visual Studio IMHO.
