News from the dotnet/fsharp repository
summary
dotnet/fsharp shows concrete additions now available in preview: nested record updates (dot-notation copy/update), multidimensional arrays up to 32 dims, yield-from in sequence exception handlers, compile-time computed literals and enum bitshifts, a richer Array.Parallel module and a Visual Studio task-list provider. There's also extended string interpolation using multiple $ and a new transparent compiler prototype that uses a synchronous cache to enable parallel type-checking and cancellation; initial benchmarks on a Giraffe project report measurable time and memory savings. Features live in the dotnet/fsharp repo and require language-preview.
