Taming the Brown Field with F#: Interactive Refactoring for Mature Codebases

Introduction

If you’ve read the previous Informedica post on F# Interactive (FSI) and why it’s a powerful tool in your development toolbox, then this post takes that next step. The first post introduced what FSI is and why it’s useful. This post shows how you can harness it practically on a brown-field project such as GenPRES

Most of us don’t work in green-field environments where code is written fresh and clean. Instead, we inhabit brown-field codebases—systems that have grown over years, accreted complexity, and become mission-critical. Changing code in these environments is often intimidating: any modification risks unexpected consequences somewhere else in the system.

This is exactly where F# Interactive (FSI) becomes a superpower.
