Actors in F# – The Bounded Buffer Problem [feedly]Actors in F# – The Bounded Buffer Problem In the previous post, I covered an example of an auction simulation using asynchronous message passing and a shared nothing approach using the MailboxProcessor class in F#. The auction example was a great piece to demonstrate scalability by ... -
F#: Continuation Passing Style at Mark NeedhamF#: Continuation Passing Style As I understand it we can achieve a continuation passing style of programming by passing in the bit of code that we went executed next (i.e. the continuation) as an argument to a function. Wes has a series of examples in C# so I thought I'd see what they look ...
