optionsScalper will be giving what is sure to be an interesting presentation on F#.NET at the Wisconsin .NET user's group tomorrow.  optionsScalper has a very serious math background, a scientific mind, and an excellent singing voice.   I like to think of him as someone who's putting the Science back in Computer Science.

He has piqued my interest in F# so I hope to have it installed and working before the presentation so I can follow along.  I won't attempt to describe F# until I've written some, suffice to say it is a different programming model than the stack-based imperative languages most of us are familiar with and thus presents a paradigm that is much more friendly to certain types of problem solving.
