Description

The "about" paragraph of this repo points to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/languages/fsharp
The first example on that page is just plain wrong.
```
// 'name' is inferred to be a string based on usage.
let printMessage name =
printfn $"Hello there, {name}!"
```

I would provide a PR, but it looks like the source of that page is not open source.

Research direction

Start by checking the repository's About paragraph and opening the linked F# page to verify the reported example. Confirm whether the link target or its source can be changed; this is done when the repository no longer directs users to the faulty page, or the external documentation owner has been identified.
