Let the record show that if you want F# to generate the prettier picture like the Javascript one, you can just change the end of the F# code thusly:

<pre>

let chars=" .:-;!/>)|&IH%*#"

for y in [-1.2..0.1..1.2] do

for x in [-2.0..0.05..1.0] do

match mandelbrot (Complex(x, y)) with

| DidNotEscape -> Console.Write " "

| Escaped i -> Console.Write chars.[i&&&15]

Console.WriteLine ()

</pre>
