It is no wonder that web development is done everywhere in the web.
It is much more than just some HTML, CSS and Frontend JS. But .NET is also here to do web development like making APIs, Websites, Web Apps, Microservices and much more on the web.
Many .NET developers use C# to do web development via Razor and ASP.NET core.
But, .NET is more than just C#. It is an ecosystem of languages like VB.NET, Powershell, X# and even F#!
So our main question is "Can F# be used for web development", and the answers are:
Answers
Yes, F# is holding a purpose of web development. Even though not many apps are built on F#. You can build web apps via frameworks like:
- Asp.NET core
- Giraffe
- Saturn
- Suave
- SAFE (a stack)
- WebSharper
And there are more frameworks.
F# has expressive syntax, asynchronous features, type inference and data handling and modeling capabilities which makes it a great choice for building modern and robust web services, apps and APIS.
