Re: the Akka.Net stuff, there is indeed an implementation of an Actor model framework - Orleans. Now it was developed in house at Microsoft and hasn't gotten a lot of attention from developers other than Microsoft employees, but it's there.

It hasn't gotten a lot of attention because Orleans forces you down implementing odd boilerplate and static interfaces which feels very un-actor like.

What boilerplate is that? Grain state interfaces are better now, and the Roslyn-based runtime code generator (https://github.com/dotnet/orleans/pull/528) is so close to being merged (so you don't have to include anything in your .csproj, even though that's automatic with the NuGet packages).

Whatever it is, maybe we can fix it?
