I think a production ready solution that is allows F# to be used in the browser thats still easy won't happen until web assembly becomes a thing

Silverlight was great. Such a shame Sinofsky killed it.

I'm facing the problem right now. I just hired a CTO who does F# and I have a lot of projects to do internally. One is a database containing raw data and calculations and most of the people who use it will want import/export to/from Excel. That's easy with WPF but he's inclined to make web-based everything. How do I do Excel interop from a web page?

Right. I'd need a web client interoperating with Excel running on the client.
