F# (F-Sharp) Source Code File

The .fs file format is used for source code in the F Sharp programming language. F sharp (F# in some context) is designed for use with Microsoft's .NET library and tools. F# is a strongly typed functional-first language that uses type inference.

The programmer does not need to declare types—the compiler deduces types during compilation. F# also allows explicit type annotations, and requires them in varying situations.

FS files are source code files written in Microsoft's F# (pronounced "F Sharp") programming language is one of several ML (Meta Language) programming languages. FS files can also be written using the Visual F# component of Microsoft Visual Studio.

FS files are developer files used for compiling F# code into DLL or EXE program executables.
