I'd like to hear answers to this as well.
A language doesn't have to be a complete
replacement to be useful.

F# seems to have some nice features.

Hello, Marc

No, I do not want to validate Cox PH. :-)
I do use R daily, though right now I do not use the statistical part that much.

I just generally wonder if any R-user tried F# and his/her opinions.

Regards,
Sergey

Hello, everyone

F# is now public. Compiled code should run  faster than R.

Anyone has opinion on F# vs. R? Just curious

Best,

The key time critical parts of R are written in compiled C and FORTRAN.

Of course, if you want to take the time to code and validate a Cox PH or mixed 
effects model in F# and then run them against R's coxph() or lme()/lmer() 
functions to test the timing, feel free...  :-)

So unless there is a pre-existing library of statistical and related 
functionality for F#, perhaps you need to reconsider your query.
