Comment on Ask HN: How viable is F# on Mono for real-life web apps?

Comments

In the past few weeks, we have been porting WebSharper IDE support (project templates, build, deploy and run) to MonoDevelop and Xamarin Studio, and apart from a couple smaller glitches this work is now done, and you should be seeing WebSharper for MD and XS released in the coming days. (Until then, you can manually invoke WebSharper if you are careful with the command line options and don't mind scripting the process.)

We have not yet succeeded, though, in making CloudSharper Local run on mono due to some unimplemented methods in the mono stack. Once these are addressed, you can also develop mono/Linux F# web apps in CloudSharper, and should hopefully find that experience a lot less daunting than using the conventional IDEs.

Very excited to learn of the templates being made accessible in Xamarin Studio! I can't wait!
