What about the Kinect SDK and F#? Read this article as one programmer speaks about his recent experience programming applications with Kinect and F#. Is this the future of programming for online gamers, shoppers, social networking etc?

The code is incredibly succinct, but remains easily readable. F# really lends itself well to asynchronous code, and it shows here. I wonder how long it will be before we see kiosks equipped with kinect deployed in the field? I could see it replacing some touchscreen functions.

I agree, and love seeing folks using F# for some not only practical application code but for coding-for-fun code like this.

Windows has definatecreated a good foundatifor future possibilities. It is interesting how it is all integrating together.
