Great project! Really cool to see something like this.

On the other hand, and this says nothing about you or your work, I realize I can put to bed my desire to learn and use F# after seeing what it looks like in a real project. The purely functional stuff is beautiful but once you drop in to more imperative/mutable code I find it really ugly to look at. I suppose unfortunately I suspect that in most real projects you will have to. Not sure if it just means I should choose a different functional language to jump in to, or if I should just work on applying functional concepts to the language(s) I already work with (fairly easy since C# is my primary language and has ever-increasing support for the functional paradigm).
