This is the experimental fork of Akka.FSharp library, introducing new features such as typed actor refs, and also simplifying existing Akka.FSharp API. The main reason for splitting from official API is to be able to introduce new (also experimental), but possibly breaking changes outside existing Akka release cycle.

Obligatory hello world example:
open Akkling
use system = System.create "my-system" <| Configuration.defaultConfig()
let aref = spawnAnonymous system <| props(actorOf (fun m -> printfn "%s" m |> ignored))
aref <! "hello world"
aref <! 1 // ERROR: we have statically typed actors hereAnother example using stateful actors:
open Akkling
use system = System.create "my-system" <| Configuration.defaultConfig()
type Message =
| Hi
| Greet of string
let rec greeter lastKnown = function
| Hi -> printfn "Who sent Hi? %s?" lastKnown |> ignored
| Greet(who) ->
printfn "%s sends greetings" who
become (greeter who)
let aref = spawn system "greeter" <| props(actorOf (greeter "Unknown"))
aref <! Greet "Tom"
aref <! Greet "Jane"
aref <! Hi
