In Erlang, we have the Supervisor behaviour which makes it very easy to provide the means to monitor and restart a whole network of workers and other supervisors based on some configured strategy. The MailboxProcessor (aka agents) in F# doesn’t come with the same higher-level abstractions (such as Erlang’s gen_server, gen_fsm behaviours) by default, but [...]

  The next meetup of the absolutely fabulous F#unctional Londoners will be one week today, at the usual venue of SkillsMatter. The topic is an exciting one! Alea.CUDA - Combining the computational power of GPUs with the functional elegance of F#Abstract F# and GPUs are two trailblazing yet unrelated technologies. F# is a uniquely productive language to solve complex problems in a clear and concise way. On the other hand GPUs offer an immense computational power to solve large number crunching tasks fast an[...]
