Really impress with this project UI, i have question that why F# used for Core project and C# for main UI project. Can i create all in c# only?

[namigop]

Although It can definitely it can all be in C#, I find that using F# is more suitable for the Core ("the business logic") because it lets you naturally write state-less functional code which I have found to be easy to test, easy to reason about and easy to debug. Of course these are also achievable in C# but you always have to be on guard to ensure that there is always proper encapsulation. That takes constant effort in a language where mutability is the default.

As for the main UI project, C# is used in it because a GUI is essentially a big ball of state that needs to be managed. An object-oriented language like C# is a lot more suited for such a task. I've also experimented with using F# for the GUI (see https://github.com/namigop/OneBella) but I found that writing object-oriented code in a functional-first language felt unnatural.

I appreciate your prompt response, i have checked all your projects on GitHub, really impress with user interface and functionality. I am working on one project for one of my customer and i want to create beautiful stunning sci-fi dynamic UI for the app. I am also thinking about your assistance to write UI if i can and possible with your due concern. My WhatsApp number is +91 9422944380.

One more question is why only Dark Theme for this app? Can we put both Dark and Light option? if yes then How?
