I'm new to F# and trying to experiment with the MailboxProcessor to ensure that state changes are done in isolation. In short, I am posting actions (immutable objects describing state chanage) to ...

I wrote a simple (I thought...) rate limiter to keep an event driven system under our licensed API hit limits. For some reason it seizes up sometimes after 400-500 requests are sent through. My be...

I tried to reduce this to the smallest possible repro, but it's still a bit long-ish, my apologies. I have an F# project that references a C# project with code like the following. public static c...

I am trying to test a MailboxProcessor in F#. I want to test that the function f I am giving is actually executed when posting a message. The original code is using Xunit, but I made an fsx of it ...

If state is regarded as a bad idea for functions why is it regarded as okay have a state when you use a MailboxProcessor? To expand, I was explaining functional programming to someone, how functi...

I've got an agent which I set up to do some database work in the background. The implementation looks something like this: let myAgent = MailboxProcessor<AgentData>.Start(fun inbox -> le...

I am learning about F# agents (MailboxProcessor). I am dealing with a rather unconventional problem. I have one agent (dataSource) which is a source of streaming data. The data has to be process...

Is it possible to make PostAndAsyncReply return immediately when its MailboxProcessor is disposed (or otherwise stopped)? Or is there some "pattern" / best practice on how to safely use PostAndRepl...

I've seen different snippets demonstrating a Put message that returns unit with F#'s MailboxProcessor. In some, only the Post method is used while others use PostAndAsyncReply, with the reply chann...

I'm hunting for some memory-leaks in a long runing service (using F#) right now. The only "strange" thing I've seen so far is the following: I use a MailboxProcessor in a subsystem with an algebr...

I wonder, why MailboxProcessor's default strategy of handling exceptions is just silently ignore them. For example: let counter = MailboxProcessor.Start(fun inbox -> let rec loop() = async {...

Looking at: member this.PostAndReply : (AsyncReplyChannel<'Reply> -> 'Msg) * ?int -> 'Reply I can't figure out why the signature looks so counter-intuitive to me. What we want to do ...

Have you tried to use a MailboxProcessor of T from C#? Could you post sample code? How do you start a new one, post messages to it, and how do you process them?

I was trying to find an example about how to use TryScan, but haven't found any, could you help me? What I would like to do (quite simplified example): I have a MailboxProcessor that accepts two...

I'm using MailboxProcessor classes in order to keep separate agents that do their own thing. Normally agents can communicate with one another in the same process, but I want agents to talk to one a...
