Yes and I completely agree, but a slow AKKA seems easier than rewriting if from scratch in C#. e.g. seemed a smaller investment to me.

Akka.net wasnt really intended to be a complete port from the start, it was a weekend hack from my part that then grew into what later became akka.net when Aaron joined (akka.actor and akka.remote first). Then things took off and it got a life of its own. Now there is an entire sub-ecosystem growing around it in terms of persistence providers, testkits and dependency injection lib integrations. AWESOME to see :)
