Eden: An F#/WPF Framework for building GUI Tools

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

Eden is an F#/WPF framework that replaces huge Excel UIs with a real Eden codebase: an explicit graph-based calculation engine that supports lazy partial recalculation, caching, cancellation and undo by recording input changes. Implementation uses F# asynchronous workflows and the .NET thread pool to run independent nodes in parallel (utilising eight cores), has been used in production for ~2 years on multi‑person projects, and works well provided functions avoid uncontrolled side effects and parallel debugging is accepted.
