This is my entry for the F# Advent Calendar 2022 . Thank you Sergey Tihon for organizing it.
We're all big fans of F#, otherwise you wouldn't be here. In fact, we're such big fans of the language that we want to use it in every imaginable situation possible. We can already run it on many platforms, thanks to .Net Core and Xamarin, which allows us to target Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and iOS. We can also target the browser thanks to the amazing Fable project. There are also several projects that allow targeting micro controllers. So realistically, we can use F# to target almost everything.
Additionally, there's been somewhat of a trend going around the cloud application circles: serverless functions. They provide a quick way to spin up an application without having to worry about the runtime and infrastructure by providing a simple function that gets invoked by a trigger of some kind (usually HTTP or cron). I personally don't see their use-cases as widespread as many will have you believe, even I admit that they're really cool.
