"C# is a great programming language, but there's still a bevy of features in other programming languages that I often wish were in C#. I'm doing quite a bit of work in F# nowadays, and I thought it would be fun to jot down a few F# features that I really miss when I come back to C#."

" In this interview from the Erlang Factory event in London, three creators of modern functional languages -- Martin Odersky, creator of Scala; Joe Armstrong, a creator of Erlang; and Don Syme, creator of F# -- discuss the similarities and differences of their creations. They also discuss their languages' common thread -- that they integrate object-oriented features in functional languages. "

" Don Syme overviews some of the basic features of functional languages, presenting why and when they are useful for parallel programming: simplicity, composability, immutability, lightweight reaction, translations, data parallelism, using F# examples but addressing the larger spectrum of functional languages including Haskell, Erlang, Clojure and JavaScript.
