I hear from lots of people I trust that F# is good for doing Data Science.  If we were to propose a packaging for VS for doing Data Science what would it need to have in it?\r\n\r\nVS is extremely configurable, and it is possible to add high quality ... well supporte 3rd party components into the dynamic installer feed.   That's how Xamarin for VS is delivered for example, although Xamarin is now 1st party.\r\n\r\nI imagine that VS for Data Science would need:\r\n* F# enabled by default\r\n* F# Power Tools\r\n* FSharp.Data Type provider\r\n\r\nWhat else?\r\nPython?, R tools for VS?\r\n\r\nI would like to see whether we can describe an ideal packaging of F# for DataScience, what we would need to add what samples are needed and what the documentation would look like?  Is this even a worthwhile activity?  should we expend our effort on something else?\r\n\r\nKevin"}}
