    Hi,
    funny that you're asking :-) The first article on the hubFS web page answers this question:
    http://cs.hubfs.net/blogs/tomasp/archive/2008/03/08/aspnet_in_fsharp.aspx

    There is also a project that attempts to make it possible to write client-side scripts running in web browser in F# and simplify communication betwee server-side and client-side. More info is here: http://tomasp.net/blog/fswebtools-intro.aspx. It was a bit inactive recently, but I'm hopefuly going to get back to it and make it ready for the "commercial version of F#" soon!

    Re: aspx web application?

    Tomas, how about an example for F# with ASP.NET MVC? I don't like regular ASP.NET and to be honest i don't think F# is a good choice for it. The examples that i've seen are actually more convoluted than if they were written in C#. Perhaps ASP.NET MVC is a better match for a functional language like F#. But i think that a really good web framework has to be written specifically for F#.
