F# as a Better Python
summary
Claims that F# replaces Python for notebooks and data work by giving static types with Python-like brevity and simpler environments, shows a working demo that downloads COVID CSVs, cleans them, loads Microsoft.Data.Analysis DataFrame via NuGet inside a .dib VS Code notebook, plots with XPlot/Plotly and exports to .ipynb. Describes web stack choices (Giraffe, Saturn, Falco on ASP.NET Core), JS/WASM options (Fable, WebSharper, Bolero), F# 5 fixes (nullable value conveniences, tolerant slices, end indexing, applicative CE) and notes GPU/ONNX translation work.
