100% #fsharp on .NET Core and OSX. It doesn't seem like much, but there is a lot going on here and has taken me years to understand how to get to this point.

[Will Smith @TIHan]

@rainbowpikmin Jolt is awesome, easy to use and comes with almost everything you need.

[Will Smith @TIHan]

@olson_dan Games are just as complicated, just in a different way.

[Will Smith @TIHan]

@vzarytovskii @EgorBo Same thing, only different.

[Will Smith @TIHan]

@vzarytovskii Vlad, you have done an excellent job at leading the F# team over the past several years. I've seen so much great work from the team and notice the positive impacts for F# as a whole. Good luck on your next challenge!

@janhlousek I keep thinking waffles

[Will Smith @TIHan]

@Dachsjaeger Ok, that's very cool. Glad that they did that!

[Jb Evain @jbevain]

Because this is such a great idea, I had to actually implement it.

[Will Smith @TIHan]

@lisyarus Looks good! Makes sense to use the depth buffer so you get the outlines to pop.

[Will Smith @TIHan]

First time tinkering with shadow maps! Still need to solve the aliasing.

@k_cieslak This is a spicy meatball.

@vzarytovskii Years ago I took this time to re-write ilread.fs with system reflection metadata. Unfortunately I didn't finish it all the way through, but it did have perf benefits.

[Will Smith @TIHan]

Been playing Risk of Rain 2. Love it. Especially with friends.

[Will Smith @TIHan]

Got LSP signature help working for patterns in Oly.

The problem to solve was determining what parameter index the cursor is active in.

[Florian Verdonck (nojaf) @verdonckflorian]

Extremely thrilled that @auduchinok from @jetbrains got mentioned in the #fsharp blog post! He has been a key player in the F# community for years and I'm glad he finally got a spot to shine!

@terrajobst So it's sideways now? I guess I do need to stretch those neck muscles.

[Will Smith @TIHan]

@firstdrafthell Looks super nice

[Will Smith @TIHan]

@rickasaurus Is something I have to look forward to in the next 10 years?
