Have you had a look at F#? fsharpforfunandprofit.com


I was about to suggest that they seem to have leaned more toward Orleans than Akka. Orleans on Github: https://github.com/dotnet/Orleans


Orbit Actors is a framework to write distributed systems using virtual actors. It was developed by BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts, and is heavily inspired by the Orleans project.

http://orbit.bioware.com/orbit-actor-overview.html


Orleans is more of a distributed RPC framework using message passing than a true actor framework. Take a look at BeeHive: https://github.com/aliostad/BeeHive


I'm scratching my head a bit on what "actor framework" really means. The only mildly interesting feature I see in BeeHive examples is the Channel, which looks like an asynchronous RPC, perhaps with ordering. Can someone please give an "elevator pitch" example of what "true actor framework" is and how it's different than async RPCs?


The product itself looks great but am I missing something with the tagline? Surely it should be either "easy as pie" or "a piece of cake".


I'm the author of Nodemailer. I'm not a native english speaker and I "borrowed" the tagline from a Node.js module by Marak Squires and didn't realize that "easy as cake" is not a widely used expression but something he probably made up himself.


Fair enough, thanks for all your hard work btw!


It's inadvertently brilliant! By being unusual, it draws attention to itself and thus to the project.


Azure will reset your VMs when you update their configuration. Normally this involves a rolling reset but as you only have one instance this was not possible.


Thanks for the info. I thought changing Scale would keep original server and just add new ones. But I guess it is a bit more intrusive.

This how it looks for me. http://i.imgur.com/9wNxAZM.png
