Most popular F# tools and libraries

Analyze results of the fsharpWorks annual F# community survey to figure out what are the most popular F# tools and libraries. The snippet does some minimal data cleanup, but more work is needed to get precise results!

ionide and mono making it possible to develop in linux. Suave is a wonderful webserver library making it possible to create nice web applications without the need for IIS or the whole MVC/ASP.net framework FSSQL has been a nice database wrapper I have used because SQL Type Providers are far from ready for production, especially with non MS SQL Server databases. Very interested in Fabel and similar for replacement of client side javascript

FAKE is really cool and I've been using it a lot for many different projects. I've not done a huge amount with F# yet as it's my first functional language so I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it.

Honestly, other than Visual Studio and a couple of emacs modes, I haven't really used any other tooling extensively. Most of the libraries I've used were just from C#.
FSI and the script file format is fantastic, but insta REPL ala LightTable/Clojure would be a game changer. Remote fsi support would be fantastic for targeting other platforms/environments.

The most effective library has to be FSharp.Data. It's incredibly handy. I like FSharpx.Collections for its NonEmptyList -- it really helps in precise modelling. I'm obviously a fan of FAKE as well as FsUnit for writing cleaner tests.
