WyattTechnology/WAkka

WAkka is an F\# library that provides a functional wrapper around Akka.NET, replacing the legacy BetterAkkling implementation. It introduces an ActorResult computation expression for explicit error handling, along with support for checkpointed and event-sourced actors with snapshotting capabilities. The system includes a performance benchmark suite to compare runtime characteristics against Akka.NET and Akkling.

A new performance test project has been introduced to benchmark actor system performance using the .NET BenchmarkDotNet framework. The suite includes test modules for both Akka.NET and Akkling actor implementations, covering scenarios such as message handling, state mutation, and closure-based message processing to allow users to compare runtime performance characteristics.

PerformanceTest · high confidence

This release introduces the WAkka library, providing a functional wrapper around Akka.NET for F\# developers. It adds a new \ActorResult\ computation expression that allows actors to handle success and error states explicitly via \Result\ types, simplifying error handling in actor logic. The library also introduces \Simple\ actors with checkpointing capabilities and \EventSourced\ actors that support persistent event storage and snapshotting. Key features include lifecycle handlers for restarts and stops, skippable persistence for event sourcing, and a unified \Props\ configuration system for actor properties like dispatchers and supervision strategies.

WAkka/Wakka · high confidence

The \BetterAkkling/Library.fs\ file containing the previous actor definition DSL, including the \ActorBuilder\, \Program\ type, and associated helper functions like \spawn\ and \receive\, has been deleted. This removes the old computational-expression-based actor model from the library.

BetterAkkling · high confidence

The project has been renamed from BetterAkkling to WAkka, reflected by the deletion of the BetterAkkling.sln file and the creation of a new WAkka.sln that includes the WAkka, WAkkaTests, and PerformanceTest projects. The solution now references a BSD-style LICENSE.txt file and uses a global.json to target .NET SDK 9.0.0. Additionally, the .gitignore has been updated to exclude coverage artifacts.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

Added test coverage for ActorResult, Event Sourcing, and Checkpointing behaviors; Removed old SpawnTests.

The WAkka library and its test suite have been upgraded to target .NET 9 (previously .NET 6) and Akka.NET 1.5.38. This change introduces the new WAkka package, which depends on Akka.Persistence, Akka.Streams, and Akkling 0.17.0, while the legacy BetterAkkling project has been removed. Performance testing has been restructured to use BenchmarkDotNet and now references the WAkka library directly.
