Filbert – added BERT-RPC client + NuGet
Since my previous post on Filbert I have added a simple but functional BERT-RPC client which I have managed to test against native Erlang modules running on Ernie. To make it easier for you to try it out I’ve uploaded the package to NuGet, which you can download from here, or run the simple NuGet …
Simple Speed Tester – moved to Github!
Since I’m liking git more and more by the day, with tools such as SmartGit and GitFlow making the task of managing even a complex branching model a relatively easy task, I’ve decided to move my Simple Speed Tester project over to github! Simple Speed Tester is a very simple framework I wrote to help …

Found a useful little snippet that converts a C# dictionary to F#’s map which uses the built-in KeyValue active pattern:
Filbert – a BERT serializer for .Net
I spent the last couple of nights and put together a small BERT serializer for .Net called Filbert. What’s BERT? BERT (Binary ERlang Term) is a binary format based on Erlang’s binary serialization format (as used by erlang:term_to_binary/1) but supports a couple of complex types such as boolean, dictionary and time, in additional to …

F# – specifying a discriminated union clause generic unit of measure
You can specify a function which can take in a numeric value with a generic unit of measure easily enough: Similarly, you can also specify a discriminated union whose clauses can be of a numeric value with a generic unit of measure, like this:
F# – defining a type extension for generic array
Peculiarly I couldn’t find any documented way to create a type extension for a generic array, ‘a [ ], turns out you need to use backtick marks ( ` ) around the square brackets in order to do that:
Performance Test – Json Serializers Part III
Note: Don’t forget to check out Benchmarks page to see the latest round up of binary and JSON serializers. Following on from my previous test, I have now included JsonFx and as well as the Json.Net BSON serializer in the mix to see how they match up. The results (in milliseconds) as well as the …
