C# 5.0: Asynchrony
-
I was asked in an interview what Asynchrony means. I replied, I have no idea. But if you mean asynchronous I may be able to provide many examples. Asynchrony is not a word.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

Just found out about the new C# 5.0 proposed feature: Asynchrony[^]. It seems inspired by F# as far as I can tell...
Very very interesting stuff there :-)

He seems to be a fan of the Lord of the Rings. The phrase "This shall not stand" is very similar phraseology as "You shall not pass".
That's called seagull management (or sometimes pigeon management)... Fly in, flap your arms and squawk a lot, crap all over everything and fly out again... by _Damian S_

That's the same thing my surgeon said to me, shortly before having a right colectomy performed. I wonder if he's a geek, too?
Will Rogers never met me.

I was thinking George H.W. Bush or more likely the Big Lebowski.

Then why is it here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/asynchrony[^]
I have a Degree in the Sciences not Liberal Arts, it doesn't surprise me that I didn't know the word. I wonder just how many programmers use the word Asynchrony over Asynchronous or multi-threaded which are much, much more common.

Asynchrony would be a noun where asynchronous is an adjective (as is multi-threaded)

Curious why you would say asynchrony is not a word? I do you conclude something is not a word?

I see the Reactive Extensions (Rx) team have already updated themselves to refernce this in their latest drop[^]. Build 1.0.2787.0 10/28/2010 Rx.NET o Added XNA 4.0 Xbox 360 support. o Added Windows Phone 7 support. o Fixed xna crash in CurrentThreadScheduler. o Removed conflict of EnumerableEx.Zip and Enumerable.Zip on Silverlight 4. o Fixed ForkJoin bug on empty source. o Added drain operator. o Added Rx extension methods to BCL via System.Reactive.ClientProfile and System.Reactive.ExtendedProfile assemblies. o Fixed bug to ensure subjects clear observers once OnCompleted fires. o Added support for the new C# await keyword (Observable.GetAwaiter). o Added ToTask and ToTaskLast operators o Added IAsyncEnumerable interface and all standard query operators for this interface. o Fixed bug in Observable.Concat, Observable.Catch and Observable.Merge to dispose of source enumerable correctly. o Added NuPack support (packages will be online soon) rx.js o Changed default schedulers to immediate where possible to match rx.net semantics.
