Write Your Own Domain Specific Language with F#

Explore how to create a domain-specific language (DSL) using F# in this 43-minute conference talk from NDC Conferences. Discover the power and expressiveness of F#, a multi-paradigm language with a focus on functional programming and high performance. Learn techniques for writing code that non-technical people can read and understand. Delve into creating a strongly and statically typed DSL that allows you to focus on business logic without distracting "keyword" noise. Gain insights into modeling domains with types, using discrimination unions, pattern matching, and functional programming concepts. Understand the benefits of type inference, partial application, and the imperative style in F#. Examine practical examples like Card Number validation and Gadget modeling. Consider the limitations and advantages of this approach while exploring how F# can bridge the gap between technical and non-technical communication in software development.
