The promise of functional programming has always been apparent: write code that expresses a process to an end result, not how the machine should perform those actions. Yet for decades, this elegance came with a tax - runtime overhead, garbage collection pauses, and the implicit assumption that “real” systems programming belonged to C and its descendants. The Fidelity Framework challenges this assumption by asking a different question: What if we could preserve F#’s expressiveness, safety and precision while compiling to native code that rivals hand-written C in efficiency?
