See, by listing those, you can tell what it is.

I imagine the quick project showcase would be different for Swift or for Rust.

Would be nice to have something like that for this Fstar or any language I haven’t heard of - or maybe have but never looked into so I see why people are using it.

Like what kinds of things i can even think of writing with it - an implementation example

I suggest simply having a look at the table of contents of

This in my opinion gives you a first rough idea for what kind of problems people are using F*.

Spoiler alert: these are not the kind of problems which are related to ["HTTP server", "hello world", "todo list app", ...].

This is exactly the reason why I wrote further above:

> Often the reason [why more languages don't have a few simple examples of: "HTTP server", "hello world", "todo list app"] is that the value that the programming language brings is thinking very differently about how to write code - the examples how to write something in it are merely the "more boring" consequences of this different way of thinking.

Ok, what kinds of problems are they?

And ideally - what does a simple solution look like in F-star?

Set me on the path to installing the thing (ideally above the fold)
