F# and Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition?
Solution 1
There won't be Visual F# Express but you can use the free Visual Studio Shell (wich is available for 2008 and 2010) with F#. It works perfectly for 2008 but I have not tested it with 2010.
Update:
The release of F# 2.0 works with the 2010 Integrated shell as well; see Don Syme's blog post "Announcing the F# 2.0 Free Tools Update".
Update: Visual F# tools 3.1.1 now support VS Express for Desktop and VS Express for Web
Solution 2
Unfortunately, there are no plans to include an F# Express edition for Visual Studio 2010. The express editions for 2010 are:
- Visual Basic 2010 Express
- Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
- Visual C# 2010 Express
- Visual C++ 2010 Express
Solution 3
While F# is not included in VS2010 Express, it appears to be supported in VS2012 Express Web Edition.
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web ... is a free development environment that programmers can use to build projects such as ASP.NET applications and Windows Azure cloud services. This F# Tools release adds in F# 3.0 components, such as the F# 3.0 compiler, F# Interactive, IDE support, and new F# features such as type providers and query expressions.
