Both C## and F## are unique in their own ways. And obviously, there are certain similarities and differences between these two languages which are bound to exist when we compare different programming languages.

So what are these differences? What are the things that you can do better in C## and F#? We have answers to all your questions in this post. Read on.

Where C## scores over F#?

Task Runtime Performance

Asynchronous code runs faster in C## than in F#. This is primarily because these codes are natively supported by the compiler and they generate optimized code. Once F## starts supporting codes natively, this difference will be reduced. Though this difference exists, it is not very critical when it comes to a typical line of business application.

W can rather extract into a C## library and call it from F#, for a real performance-sensitive code. Async-workflow is generally used in the code as it is easier to use than a task. Also because it supports cancellation out of the box.

Interacting with .NET libraries

Since most of the .NET libraries are written in C#, it becomes easier for the developer to work in C## as compared to F#.
