Akka.NET: Actor Model for Distributed Systems (!)

Port of Akka for JVM (Java/Scala) to .NET; This may be useful for IoT.

Akka.NET is a toolkit and runtime for building highly concurrent, distributed, and fault tolerant event-driven applications on .NET and Mono..

"The Actor Model provides a higher level of abstraction for writing concurrent and distributed systems. It alleviates the developer from having to deal with explicit locking and thread management, making it easier to write correct concurrent and parallel systems."

"High Performance:
50 million msg/sec on a single machine. Small memory footprint; ~2.5 million actors per GB of heap."
