hubFS: THE place for F#

Hello,
Is there a "standard" naming convention for F#? Should the code follow the .NET naming convention or the OCaml or neither...

There is a document about naming conventions at Don Syme's WebLog: http://blogs.msdn.com/dsyme/archive/2006/12/18/DraftChaptersUpdateDec2006.aspx //Huusom

Yep, its kinda of a mixture of .NET and ocaml, tending more towards .NET. The biggest move away from ocaml is that F# tries to avoid underscores in identifier names, and I think the lack of underscores generally improves the readablity of the code. But I guess thats just my personal taste.

Thanks, guys!

I've read the document... the usage of the mixture syntax is much clearer now...

Will the rest of core library eventually get a Camel casing convention? As I find it highly inelegant to see underscore and Camel mixed together.
I even see this mix within the same module like List.sumByFloat and List.fold_left

Hi,

We've been looking at this issue and will be making some cleanup here in the F# CTP, especially for the inconsistencies like the one you mention.

Kind regards

Thanks, so will that mean fold_left will become foldLeft ?

I hope it becomes foldl as in Haskell :-)
