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. | ||

> these are not the kind of problems which are related to ["HTTP server", "hello world", "todo list app", ...]. 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) | ||
