F# how you think … “19. A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing". By Alan Perlis, "Epigrams in Programming"

 

Looking through other functional programming sites for wisdom to use in F#, found this by Seth Gordon.

[Haskell-cafe] the case of the 100-fold program speedup

“ … In other words, I sped up the code by two orders of magnitude. …”

Seth quoted Perlis, and I concur.
