Hi, I’m looking for an advice on using and communicating async jobs. I have a ClientWebSocket that listens to incoming events, and occasionally sends queries. I need different async jobs to handle the events/responses and a way to communicate between all of them. One option is to use MailboxProces…

Perhaps GitHub - fsprojects/FSharp.Control.TaskSeq: A computation expression and module for seamless working with IAsyncEnumerable<'T> as if it is just another sequence + Channel<T>? Hopac is by all means a valid, if overkill and, depending on your taste, exotic, solution :slight_smile: You would …

Thank you very much for the detailed answer. My use case is pretty simple but does require communications between jobs: One job to listen to events / responses from the web socket and pass it ordered as strings to a channel without back-pressure to be consumed by other job Second job that listens …

You can take a look at GitHub - TheAngryByrd/FSharp.Control.WebSockets: FSharp.Control.WebSockets wraps dotnet WebSockets in FSharp friendly functions and has a ThreadSafe version. , either using it take inspiration from it.

Hopac? It is not maintained (edit: looks like), and apparently there’s no way to make it work in Windows desktop programs (target has the “-windows” in it, so WPF or WinForms), even if you do use server garbage collection. Fun to tinker with, but unfortunately I can’t use it in my business. Too much…

Hopac targets netstandard2.0, it’s target-agnostic by definition. UI threading aside, why would you not be able to use it in an arbitrary .NET application?

I’d love to be wrong about this. I really like Hopac. I had an intensive debug session with ChatGPT in order to figure out what was wrong. What ChatGPT found out is a bit over my head, but it concluded firmly that the Hopac scheduler was not initialized when an application targeted “-windows”. It s…
