FTFY You can do native functional programming with F# instead of via a library grafted onto a primarily OOP language.

Agreed. F# is the natural choice for a functional language implementation. However, I was making the point that even in a procedural / OOP language such as C# you can still use functional directives. Hence making the point that even if you use C# you can still benefit from learning a functional language.

After 10 great years, extended support for all versions of SQL Server 2005 is coming to an end on April 12, 2016. Microsoft is promoting PostgreSQL now?

I checked my dev SQL server VM; it's running 2008 so I'm good for a few more years of not caring.

Microsoft has today lifted the lid on LLILC, their new LLVM-based compiler for .NET's CoreCLR. Uhm.... yay?

The new maps show that in some places there are large amounts of dark matter, while in others it is almost entirely absent. Turns out it is composed of mismatched socks and your missing TV remote

We are dark matter, we are shaded, we are 13.7 billion year old carbon, and we've got to get ourselves back to the Big Bang... (with apologies to CSNY, and anyone with musical taste)

Microsoft is working on a new set of Azure 'mobile first/cloud first' microservices for business users, an effort some at the company could become another billion-dollar business. Just in case you're not yet tired of hearing, "mobile first/cloud first"

The battle among developers over the choice of tabs vs. spaces for indentation isn’t close to being decided. Everyone knows the correct whitespace is

Tab was soooo 80s. We have matured since then.

Diet Tab was even better.
Haft the space, none of the calories.

Blasphemer!
Tab is the only spacing option that makes any sense.
Anyone who uses spaces is evil 💩, and must be destroyed.

Whitespace is like white noise, meaningless and random. Tabs bring order out of chaos.
