How anyone is ever going to be able to keep up with all the developments out there, I wouldn't know. Everyday I find stuff on the internet that I hadn't heard of before. And yet, there are people busy doing stuff with those things and writing blogs and making podcasts about is as well... Today I came across the following:

Learning WPF with F#

F#? WTF? Apparantly Microsoft is doing quite some research on F# whcih they claim is:

... a programming language that provides the much sought-after combination of type safety, performance and scripting, with all the advantages of running on a high-quality, well-supported modern runtime system. Combining the efficiency, scripting, strong typing and productivity of ML with the stability, libraries, cross-language working and tools of .NET.

And, since F# will run against the .NET framework it can also use the WPF API's. John Liao has devoted quite a lot of blogposts to his study of WPF by rewriting all of Petzolds code samples from C# to F#... Amazing...
