# Slides at least?

Is there a chance that at least slides to all those talks are going to be published?

That would be a small reconciliation for all those of us who can be there in person.

Must be Spring ...

Very much like to be there, alas, even with low air fares, won't make it.

But yes slides at least?

Is it safe to try F# with VS 2010 beta yet?

Saw your presentation in Göteborg today and must say that you did an awesome job selling F#!! I'm forever stuck on FP.

Lovely job with the SDC talk Don, selling, succint and fun quite much like F# :)

Oh, and Ola never came around to bashing static typing in his talk due to time constraints so you're on up on that one. Regarding the tailcall debacle is that a language or a CLR implementation issue? Im quite sure F# does emit the tailcall instruction as needed (an option not available on the JVM) but I haven't dug into if the runtime engine actually manages to do something constructive with it, could you enlightenus?

Thanks for the great talk at MS in Vedbæk. It is nice to see FP making its way into the mainstream.

As for my question on the compiler being open here is I would like to do:

1) To have the compiler front-end available as an API so that I can use it to parse F# source code into an AST that I can manipulate.

2) To have the compiler back-end available via an API so I can compile the transformed AST.

3) Ideally it would be stronger than the CodeDom so that it can also be used for eg. building refactoring tools via source -> AST -> source transformations.

Nice work Don! VS 2010 is going to be very impressive.
