Thanks, guys. Good points. So I guess I should have asked about whether or not Actor Model is adopted in the industry or not rather than Akka.net.

It looks cool and nice but never worked in a company that actually uses it. Anyway, I guess I'll get my hands dirty a little bit and spend some time to discover more about it so that I can decide to go deeper or leave it alone altogether.

Any opinions regarding the state of actor model in the industry is still welcome.

Thanks.

Agreed. Another implementation of the Actor model on the .NET platform is Microsoft's Project Orleans.

Out of interest what problem does it solve?

It's a .NET port of Apache Akka, written in Java, and is an implementation of the Actor model/pattern. Mostly used for highly distributed, highly concurrent systems.

If you have demonstrable experience and a client that needs it then yes it would be a good skill to have.

Akka.Net

Hi guys,

I have a mind of investing some time into Akka.Net. It looks interesting for building message-based distributed systems. But then again I think there are already cloud-based message buses all around. I understand they are not completely interchangeable and can work together but still haven't decided if this would be a good use of my time.

Business-wise, I don't see many ads looking for this framework in particular.

What do you think? Is it something you worked with before and would recommend/not recommend? Would it be a good skill to have?

Thanks.
