f# compiling too slow

Question

I\'m new to f#. I downloaded the Visual Studio 2010 shell and the F# ctp and wrote a small hello world script with the following code

printfn \"Hello World\"         


        

Answer 1

Note also that you can use F# Interactive to evaluate snippets of code or scripts, and since the FSI window in VS stays open, it is much faster (the startup time for fsc.exe is bad).
