Why I'm Using Falco Instead Of Saturn | How To Switch Your Backend In SAFE Stack | StonkWatch Ep.13 

Thanks Pim. My pleasure.

Thanks Akash

Thanks Will!

Sourcetree.

I have not tried, but this is good feedback. Maybe an issue in the repo would help with that.

There are few F# programmers overall, thus less mac programmers. It is also quite over-shadowed by C# devs. Who isn't an ex-Java developer...

I am trying to learn F# but seems like the helping materials on RU-vid is quate rare. For example, as a noob, when I'm learning something, I cannot continue if I don't find any handholding tutorial. Yes, there are tutorials on web, but most of them like make a hello world program. Other language, especially C#, python etc. has many example tutorials.

@@genericuser9138 i doubt that is what is holding F# back. any one who really wanted to learn the language will find one book or ebook and be quite capable to get up to speed with the language quickly. the more immediate problem with F# is that .NET is centered around C# in terms of tooling, support, and overall ecosystem. Chances are if you are looking to make a project on .NET you should probably use C# for the most intended and straightforward experience. I myself use F# but have found that practically everything on .NET is C# first. F# is secondary and will be for everything you do in F#. Still, it has some good niches it carved for itself, Fable/Feliz being one.

I would definitely work with the SAFE Stack. As for your choice of backend with the SAFE Stack, there is really no wrong choice. I would pick the one that appeals the best to you personally. Giraffe and Falco are more functional driven, Saturn is a bit more MVC style.

@@bengobeil933 thanks

@@bengobeil933 any plan of writing a book? I'm not understanding the backend - how is the data stored and how is it retrieved? DO i need to understand type providers first?

No data is stored for now. It is retrieved via http requests. No book plans for now, but you never know.
