  • Return the first result using Async.Choice

    The snippet implements Async.Choice method that takes several workflows and creates a workflow, which returns the first result that was computed. After a workflow completes, remaining workflows are cancelled using the F# async cancellation mechanism. (The method doesn't handle exceptions.)

  • Async vs sync benchmark

    Quick benchmark to compare the throughput performance of F# MailboxProcessor using asynchronous workflows and a synchronous agent using a lock and busy loop. The latter is 9x faster on this machine.
