I found out about Google CodeJam the other day, and looking at their info page, there’s a number of interesting problems you can solve as practice for the real thing coming up, and here are my F# solutions to the qualification round questions from the 201[...]

To find the answer to this question I put together a very simple test, but before we go into it.. Disclaimer: this test and its result should be taken at face value only, it is intended to illustrate that posting messages to an agent is super lightweight,[...]

One of the problems with using F#’s Discriminated Unions is that they are not extensible, in that all your union cases must be specified inside one Discriminated Union (abbreviated to DU from this point) type and you can’t inherit from an existing DU type[...]
