What can I say.
Anyone claiming that F# is good mostly for finance and data processing and C# for everything else, has probably never written a single line of practical F# code.
In previous two parts of the article, I tried to demonstrate that with F# you can achieve the same goals as with C#, but with less verbose, repetitive, structural code.
How it started.
At some point, developers realized that global state with unrestricted data access causes many side effects, producing insecure, error-prone, and hard-to-maintain code as software grows larger. That is when the idea emerged to bring data and the code operating on it together into a single unit, restricting direct access to the unit’s internal state and making software more secure and predictable. This is how data encapsulation was born.
