Microsoft did not invent Functional Programming. Try Googling OCaml, or Hope.

Le pide a los de microsoft que nos deje en paz, para creando lenguajes de programacion que son lentos y nesecitan mas recursos de hardware y no son multiplataformicos, sion faciles de usar si pero su soporte es solo para aquellas personas que poseen recursos.. VIVA EL SOFTWARE LIBRE Y NO BASURA DE MICROSOFT.
