F# API Documentation Examples #3100
Description
While our machinelearning-samples repo has F# samples, the ML.Net API documentation examples do not contain F# examples.
This is a work item to add F# examples to demonstrate API usage and to mirror what we have in C#.
Things that need to be understood:
-
Does our current documentation pipeline support another language (we support python and C#, can we add F# examples and have it work or is there some additional work that needs to be done? If so, lets create an issue -- following up with @JRAlexander and @natke)
-
If it is supported, is there a specific directory structure or other restrictions that need to be followed?
If there are sub-issues that need to be created, please use this as the global issue for tracking.

It would be great if these samples don't use the reflection-based API as the current machinelearning-samples unfortunately do (example). I.e. they should use IDataView directly.
I believe the reflection-based annotated record approach doesn't suit F# because typical F# is a more type safe than typical C#, direct code is more typical than automatic tools, and there is less need to support non-programmer or semi-programmer data-scientists who can use the default C#.

what kind of examples would you like to see in the F# documentation? I feel this issue would be a good start with ML.NET for me :)

Triage: we don't plan to extend F# support at the moment.
