Microsoft to Productize and Integrate F# with Visual Studio (opens in new tab)

Hmmm, why not just use Lisp?

Awesome. This is the third great announcement from a big tech company in two days (along with Amazon and EC2, and Apple and the iPhone API).

Now I just need to hope for another great announcement tomorrow from a certain small LLC.

See? Microsoft is still capable of innovation (it's a pragmatic dialect of a 10-15 year old language, but still, it beats Java and C#).
