Actors at Scala.net

I recently learned erlang and was intrigued by scala for its feature set and ease of interpolation using java (and possibly .net) applications. I finally study the actors and wonder if there is a working mechanism that currently works in .net.

I looked at the libararies that came off sbaz and found that there is scala.Concurrent but not scala.actors.Actor. I tried using scala.Concurrent.Channel but could not use! to send messages.

I'm just wondering if this is what is currently available, and if so, how are you going to configure it.

Scala actors (and I think most Scala concurrency abstractions) are pretty tied to low-level support for Java concurrency. Their parts are even strongly associated with the Sun JVM and will go into degraded mode on other JVMs (there, a copy of the jsr 166y reference implementation is delayed in the Scala codebase, which depends on Sun's private APIs).

A break in communications would be possible, but it would be a significant project. It can also lead to some performance compromises, since w61> shell interfaces must be provided for generic constructs that will be implemented using low-level .NET or Java APIs.

Scala.net is currently not ready for production and lacking for some basic features, such as actors and parsing capabilities.
