Out of curiosity, have you considered Akka.net instead of Orleans? If yes, why did you choose Orleans?
- zamalek 8y agoDispatch is the responsibility of the developer in Akka via a switch statement. In Orleans it is automatic and occurs via interface. That's just one example (of many) of how Orleans is aesthetically similar to basically everything else in .Net. Akka would feel familiar to Java developers, Orleans feels familiar to .Net developers and I work with more of those. Given Akka's heritage, it is likely richer than Orleans - but avoiding training is more valuable to us.
- polskibus 8y agoThank you, I'd love to hear more if you are willing to share, or maybe you have a link of a comparison that matches your insights? I work in .net too, we chose akka.net for a minor project and it's been a good experience. I'm trying to evaluate if it is a good fit for larger projects.
- zamalek 8y agoI'd have to Google that. The largest project I know of running on Orleans is Halo. However, I'm sure there is something that rivals this with Akka.Net. As I implied: likely no real difference beyond aesthetics.
