Type-safe URL templates for Nancy
The Nancy web framework parses URLs for you, and passes requests under a given URL route and HTTP method to your program. It relies heavily on C# dynamic objects; these don't translate well in F# code, and it's easy to make mistakes that only show up at run time. Here we define one F# record type for each route, with an attribute that defines the URL, with placeholders for each field in the record. These types implement one generic interface for each HTTP method they support: for GET, PUT and POST, these generic interfaces also specify the types of the HTTP request and response bodies.

Observable.computed
Knockout (http://knockoutjs.com) provides observable primitives similar to IObservable in Rx. Knockout also has ko.computed, which abstracts away individual subscriptions: you write a function that references the current values of observables, and it takes care of the rest. Here is ko.computed in F#.

.NET 1.1 collections in F#
Even with the latest tools, we're sometimes exposed to .NET archeaology: parts of the framework designed before .NET 2. Examples of this are the dictionary classes from System.Collections, which are a little strongly typed, but not quite -- you see them if you call HttpUtility.ParseQueryString, or if you use pretty much anything in System.Configuration. Here's some code to make these classes a little safer in F#.
