I. Introduction
The programming Language that we used in developing our system is F# Programming Language. F# is a multi-paradigm .NET language explicitly designed to be an ML suited to the .NET environment. It is rooted in the Core ML design and in particular has a core language largely compatible with OCaml. In other words this means that the syntax of the F# language is similar to ML or OCaml, but the F# language targets .NET Framework, which means that it can natively work with other .NET components and also that it contains several language extensions to allow smooth integration with the .NET object system.
Another important aspect mentioned in this description is that F# is multi-paradigm language. This means that it tries to take the best from many programming languages from very different worlds. The first paradigm is functional programming which has a very long tradition and is becoming more important lately for some very appealing properties, including the fact that functional code tends to be easier to test and parallelize and is also extensible in a ways where object oriented code makes extending difficult.
The second paradigm is widely adopted object oriented programming, which enables interoperability with other .NET languages. In F# it is often used for implementing elementary data types (meaning that the operations on the type are well known and change very rarely), for grouping a set of elementary functions that are together used to perform some complicated operation (i.e. implementing an interface) and also when working with object oriented user interface frameworks.
Finally, the third paradigm supported by F# is language oriented programming (the design of F# in this area is largely influenced by ML, Haskell and also by
