 ## Objects Made Simple
 
 F# is **functional first** and **immutable by default**, but it also provides pragmatic support for object programming.
 <!--more-->
-- **Seamless .NET integration** lets you work with existing .NET libraries and frameworks
 - **Rich interface system** allows you to define clear contracts for your components
 - **Object expressions** provide lightweight implementation of interfaces without defining full classes
 - **Concise member syntax** keeps methods and properties clean and readable

 ## Async Programming made Easy
 
 F# async expressions provide a powerful way to handle asynchronous programming, making it more readable and maintainable. They allow you to write non-blocking code that looks like synchronous code, which is particularly useful for I/O-bound operations.
 <!--more-->
 - **Async expressions** provide a clean syntax for defining asynchronous workflows
 - **Integration with existing libraries** makes it easy to use async expressions with other F# features

 ## Clean Code with Computation Expressions
 
 F# computation expressions give you an elegant syntax for compositional control flows with a clean, readable notation that some say is F#'s superpower.
 <!--more-->
 - **Computation expressions** factor out how code is composed together
 - **Custom control flow abstractions** create domain-specific mini-languages
 - **Seamless error handling** with [railway-oriented programming](https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/rop/) patterns
 - **Elegant data transformations** by hiding boilerplate and focusing on business logic
 - **Composable workflows** that can be combined and nested for complex operations

 ## Safe Numbers through Units of Measure
 
 F# offers world-class compile-time unit safety without runtime overhead, giving you the power to express your domain in a type-safe way. This is particularly useful in scientific, engineering and financial applications where unit errors can lead to catastrophic results.
 <!--more-->
 - **Compile-time dimensional safety** catches errors before running, preventing scientific and engineering mistakes
 - **Domain-specific units** express quantities that directly reflect your problem space
 - **Automatic unit conversions** maintain type safety while handling complex calculations
 - **Seamless interoperability** works with normal numeric types when needed
