Comments on: Custom WPF Controls in F# http://www.mattssoftwareblog.com/?p=191 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 18:36:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Matt http://www.mattssoftwareblog.com/?p=191&cpage=1#comment-654 Matt Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:59:43 +0000 http://www.mattssoftwareblog.com/?p=191#comment-654 Hi Mike, It depends on which programming paradigm you find works best for you. I prefer F# hands down. GUI designers add a lot of useless cruft to the code rendering them unusable, and C#/XAML requires a lot of ceremony. I find that entire F# programs can be elegantly expressed in a single page of code. John Liao's blog at http://jyliao.blogspot.com/ has a ton of really great examples of F#/WPF. Hope this helps, and happy coding. Matt Hi Mike,

So Your posts are very motivating for me. Would you recommend your approach for a hobby programmer?
