Fesh is a Scripting Editor for F# on Windows. Screenshot

It is based on the excellent <a href="https://github.com/goswinr/AvalonEditB" target="_blank">AvalonEdit</a>. The editor supports F# 8.0 and has modern IDE features like semantic syntax highlighting, type-info and autocomplete. Unlike a typical F# REPL this editor has the input and the output in two separate windows. Just like Don Syme always wanted it to be. By hosting <a href="https://www.nuget.org/packages/FSharp.Compiler.Service/43.8.300" target="_blank">FSharp.Compiler.Service</a> in the same process the Editor can easily be hosted in other apps to create an embedded application scripting tool. This was in fact the primary motivation for creating this editor. I have used it for scripting in Rhino3D professionally since 2017 see my talk on Louvre Abu Dhabi. For hosting there is the nuget package Fesh. See hosting examples Fesh.Rhino and Fesh.Revit.

Features

Syntax Highlighting

Initial static syntax highlighting is done via AvalonEdit's regex based highlighting. see SyntaxHighlightingFSharp.xshd The F# Compiler Service. Provides additional semantic highlighting.

Auto complete

Auto complete works on enter and dot, also in middle of a word.

Type info

The type info includes the inferred signature. All of the xml docs and information about the containing assembly

Status bar

The statusbar at the bottom shows compiler error count, click on it to scroll to the first error.

Selection highlighting

Selected text is highlighted in both code and output window. The count is shown in the status bar.
