'''F#''' (pronounced '''F sharp''') is a functional-first, [[General-purpose programming language|general-purpose]], [[Strong and weak typing|strongly typed]], [[Programming paradigm#Multi-paradigm|multi-paradigm]] [[programming language]] that encompasses [[functional programming|functional]], [[imperative programming|imperative]], and [[object-oriented programming]] methods. It is most often used as a cross-platform [[Common Language Infrastructure]] (CLI) language on [[.NET]], but can also generate [[JavaScript]]<ref name="js">{{cite web |url=http://fsharp.org/use/web-apps/ |title=Using F# for Web Applications |author=The F# Software Foundation |access-date=2020-07-30}}</ref> and [[graphics processing unit]] (GPU) code.<ref name="gpgpu">{{cite web |url=http://fsharp.org/use/gpu/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191225110926/http://fsharp.org/use/gpu/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2019-12-25 |title=Using F# for GPU Programming |author=The F# Software Foundation |access-date=2019-12-25}}</ref>
