The F# Weekly #13

I was particularly inspired by the latest F# Weekly from the F# Community (feed here). This edition really shows the incredible range of application of F# and activity in the F# community, from HTML5 GeoLocation examples using WebSharper to interoperability with Java to GPGPU programming to machine learning algorithms using Adaptive Boosting.

Enjoy!
