"Code reviews are described as 'technical debt' and some say this ‘debt’ amounts to a trillion dollars globally." Does anybody else share this view, or is the wording just awkward here? In my experience code reviews help to remove technical debt, rather than accrue it. Their dashboards look nice. Coming from the .NET world, I know that Resharper has had a lot of that kind of functionality as part of its Visual Studio extension [1]. And apparently you can also build your own custom compiler rules for both F# and C#, as both have a compiler-as-a-service[2][3]. I'm sure similar tools exist for other languages as well.

Omnisharp[1] is build on top of Roslyn so as for now it supports only C# / VB. As far as I know they are working on adding plugin support for it for non-Roslyn language so maybe in the future we will have F# plugin there ( actually, as far as I know, that's MSFT plan for adding F# support in VS Code) F# has had opensourced compiler[2] (written in F#) before it was cool in .Net stack and for most tooling things we are using FSharp.Compiler.Services[3] project - which basically provides all features of F# compiler (and much more) as normal .Net library. Projects like Visual F# Power Tools[4] and Xamarin Studio F# support[5] are using it to provide very interesting F# IDE features. Since Vim, Emacs, Sublime and Atom (even though Ionide is written in F# and compiled to JS we can't use all .Net libraries) don't have direct access to .Net assem
