I’m working on migrating an IBM Maximo database from the late 90s to a SQL Server deployment on my current project. Also charged with updating the schema to a more maintainable and extensible design. Manufacturing and refurbishing domain - 200+ column tables is the norm. Very demoralizing.

.NET 10 8 months ago

Microsoft is still supporting VB.NET, Windows Forms/WPF, and to a lesser extent VBA. I doubt F# is going away anytime soon.

As someone without a lot of experience (in my first dev job now), would you care to expand on this? Does this mean that you wouldn’t have a function fn() that manipulates a global variable VAR, but rather you’d pass VAR like fn(VAR)?
