I got me some feedback! Who knew, after 11 posts, people starting reading my posts and tweeting me feedback and ideas. @Felienne in F# can you do ` List.sortBy (helper.getRank) hand` instead of `List.sortBy (fun x-> helper.getRank(x)) hand`? — Daan van Berkel (@daan_van_berkel) March 6, 2016 Turns out, you can!
