I am attempting to write some simple code in F#, and i get this error:

Error   1   The mutable variable 'i' is used in an invalid way. Mutable variables may not be captured by closures. Consider eliminating this use of mutation or using a heap-allocated mutable reference cell via 'ref' and '!' 

Code:

let printProcess = async {
        let mutable i = 1;
        while true do
            System.Console.WriteLine(i);//error is here
            i <- i + 1;
    }

Why won't it let me print the variable?
