Fable

Definitions

1. A compiler that transpiles F# code to JavaScript (and more recently Python and Rust), enabling F# developers to build web applications with the full power of the F# type system.

   In plain English: A tool that converts F# code into JavaScript so you can write web apps in F# and run them in the browser.

   Example: "We use Fable to write our React frontend in F# — the type safety catches bugs the JavaScript version never would."
