F# doing WP7 app - Graphic calculator

All WP7 by F# can be found at:


The reason I choose F# as my major programming for WP7 application is because

  • F# is .net based language
  • F# requires less code when program the same feature. 
  • F# library and community provides large number of good algorithms, some of them are exotic and never heard of. But over all, that give me confident that I can have more stuff to show on a phone.
  • my previous experience shows F# generate less bugs.
