Is there a site which offers an interactive F# shell?

Question

Is there a site like try ruby that allows one to experiment in an F# interactive shell? I'd like to try a few commands without installing Visual Studio or Mono.

Answer 1

Not yet that I know of. (This is something the F# team would love to do if/when we can find the free time to put it together.)

(Note that you don't need VS or Mono - you can just have .Net and then install the F# CTP and just get the runtime, command-line compiler, and fsi.exe, and use that. But it would be nicer if there were a no-install web-site-visit try-it thingy.)

Answer 2

There is also now tryfs.net.

Answer 3

You can use codepad.org for experiments with OCaml. The core of F# and OCaml is similar, just remember not to use light version of syntax, advanced F# features and .net libraries :)

Answer 4

ideone.com now supports F# ! Here are some samples.

It's not really a REPL, but rather an online compiler.
