While looking through the Reactive Extensions, released during PDC 2009, I was intrigued by the ISubject<T> and ISubject<T1, T2> interfaces that implement both IObservable<T> and IObserver<T>. I asked whether this could be used as an Actor and received a response from none other than Erik himself that it was possible. Here’s the simple Ping Pong example, similar to those for Erlang, Axum, and F#. The good news is that this same approach will be available in all of the .NET languages, including F#. I wonder what the preferred F# approach will be.

So what are you waiting for? Go grab it!

Also, I had performed some tests comparing F# with C# data access and was surprised by the results. Once I get the PowerPack installed for VS2010, I want to re-run it and see if it runs any differently in .NET 4.0, then I’ll post what I found.

Have any of you worked in the collective intelligence space? If so, with what languages, and what was your experience?

I’m currently trying to get Dee working on IronPython, which would get me closer to my goal of using a true relational model for data access. I would like to stick with a .NET implementation, so that leaves out Rel. I have tried Dataphor, but I find it trying to be too much a complete platform and not easy to use as just a utility. I think either a good C# or F# implementation would be both excellent to have and a fun project on which to work. Anyone interested?
