Create a histogram of a sequence using map

Creates a map containing each item and its frequency as a key/value pair. Then sort by value in reverse order before printing each item.

let histogram =
    Seq.fold (fun acc key ->
        if Map.containsKey key acc
        then Map.add key (acc.[key] + 1) acc
        else Map.add key 1 acc
    ) Map.empty
    >> Seq.sortBy (fun kvp -> -kvp.Value)
