Playing with F# and SkiaSharp on Xamarin


This is time I'm trying to use F# with SkiaSharp the .Net wrapper of the nice Skia Library a 2D Graphic Library from Google, in Xamarin more precisely with Xamarin Forms, a cross-platform framework to easily develop native mobile application on iOS, Android and other platforms.

Despite it looks like Xamarin and Microsoft decided to drop the support for F# with Xamarin Forms, I think there is a lot of potential on using a functional languages, and in this case F#, to create client application, thanks to the domain oriented code you can produce easier with a language like F# (not to mention, using a F#'s feature like mailbox processor)

Please take a look at the code and bear in mind is just a little trial.
