Features

Scope and Coverage

• Curated catalog of F# tools, libraries, and frameworks
• Includes F#-specific software projects
• Collects educational and learning resources for F#
• Focuses on functional-first programming on .NET and related platforms

Main Language-Related Repositories

• Dedicated section listing primary F# language-related repositories (e.g., compiler, core tooling, or foundational projects; specific repos not fully visible in provided content but organized under this heading)

F# Wrappers for Popular .NET Libraries

A cross-reference table mapping common .NET libraries to F#-friendly wrappers:

• Web and UI frameworks

  • ASP.NET Core Blazor → Bolero
    • F# wrapper around ASP.NET Core Blazor components
  • ASP.NET Core → Giraffe
    • F#-friendly web framework on top of ASP.NET Core
    • Optional integration with Saturn (opinionated F# web framework)
    • Also lists Oxpecker as another F# option for ASP.NET Core
  • Avalonia UI → Avalonia.FuncUI
    • F# functional UI abstraction over the Avalonia cross-platform UI framework
  • MAUI / Xamarin.Forms → Fabulous
    • F# framework for building mobile/desktop apps on .NET MAUI or Xamarin.Forms

• Testing frameworks

  • MSTest / NUnit / xUnit.net → FsUnit
    • F#-focused assertion and testing helpers usable with popular .NET test runners

• Serialization and runtime libraries

  • Mentions integration with System.Text.Json (partial text shown) via F#-oriented wrappers/utilities (exact project name truncated in the provided content but listed in the same wrapper table)

Repository Structure and Governance

• Includes CONTRIBUTING.md with contribution guidelines for adding and maintaining entries
• Includes ARCHIVE.md for archived or deprecated items
• Licensed via LICENSE.txt (open-source / documentation license; exact terms in the file)
• Automated workflows located under .github/workflows (e.g., for validation or CI on list changes)
• Supporting scripts folder for repository maintenance tasks (such as formatting, validation, or generation of sections)

Curation Characteristics

• Emphasizes “awesome” / high-quality F# resources rather than exhaustive listing
• Organized into sections (e.g., “Main Language-Related Repositories,” wrappers table, and other content headings not fully visible in the snippet) for easier discovery
• Targets both practical development (frameworks, libraries, wrappers) and learning (educational resources)
