What we’re about
F# Londoners is a meetup group that aims to bring together Londoners with an interest in programming with F#. Topics include: - Essentials of functional programming and F# - Assessing what kind of projects F# is well suited for - or not - Using F# alongside other languages and libraries - Asynchronous and parallel programming - Data visualisation - Scientific programming - Numerical methods and optimisation - Financial modelling
As an affiliated user group of fsharp.org, the F# Software Foundation, we strive to build a great community of passionate people who care deeply about F#, and want to make our community a safe and welcoming place for everyone. We expect everyone attending our events to be respectful, open, and considerate, and to follow the F# Software Foundation Code of Conduct. If someone's behavior makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe in any way, please report the issue by emailing [email protected].

See all- Rapid Code Generation with F# Parsers and SQL InterpolationThe Office Group - Albert House, LONDON
Welcome back!
Join us for an exciting session where we delve into the world of rapid code generation using F# parsers and explore the power of string interpolation with SQL and other examples.
Traditionally, (lex/yacc) parsers were the domain of compiler writers, but with the advent of functional programming languages, these tools have become accessible for source-code generation by developers of all levels.
Our speaker, Stephen Channell, will share a fascinating backstory from 30 years ago, involving a proposal for a SQL interpreter at IBM. What was once considered a major project was accomplished in just a couple of weeks using F#. The intuitive nature of FSYaccLex, combined with the strengths of F#, made it a superior choice over C.
This session will be particularly interesting for those in the community who are keen on parsing domain-specific languages (DSLs) using FSLexYacc, processing abstract syntax trees (ASTs), and generating code where F# truly excels.
TotallyMoney is kindly sponsoring the meet-up and will be providing pizza and drinks.
