# fsharp-discord-bot

A basic template for writing functional discord bots in F#

## How to test it

```

cd fsharp-discord-bot/FsharpDiscordBot

FSHARP_BOT_TOKEN="your token goes here" dotnet run

```

## Q 'n' A

### "that looks like lots of boilerplate"

Yes, this is how it is when using dotnet libs in F#

## "given the boilerplate, why would I want to use F#?"

As your bot grows, code cleanliness becomes more and more important.

The advantages of F# will slowly become much more apparent as your codebase expands.

For the general advantages of F# see [here](https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/why-use-fsharp/)
