Axum, so long and goodnight...

Isolation, Agents, and Message-passing in .NET - The State of Axum

"Those who have followed this blog will have noticed that it’s been a long time since we posted anything new about Axum, and the time has come to state publicly that which may have been clear to some but not others, that we’re not currently pursuing productization.
