Simple C# clojure like agent. Supports async/await and returning values from the wrapped data structure

Agent.cs

//Serialised, asynchronous access to data structures

public class Agent<T>
{
  private readonly T m_data;
  private readonly BlockingCollection<Action<T>> m_actions = new BlockingCollection<Action<T>>( new ConcurrentQueue<Action<T>>() );

  public Agent( T data )
  {
		if( data == null )
		{
			 throw new ArgumentNullException( "data" );
		}

		m_data = data;
		Task.Factory.StartNew( ProcessActions );
  }

  public void Send( Action<T> act )
  {
		if( act != null )
		{
			 m_actions.Add( act );
		}
  }

  private void ProcessActions()
  {
		foreach( var action in m_actions.GetConsumingEnumerable() )
		{
			 action( m_data );
		}
  }
}



//Usage e.g.

var agent = new Agent<List<string>>( new List<string>() );
agent.Act( lst => lst.Add( "1" ) );
agent.Act( lst => lst.Add( "2" ) );
agent.Act( lst => lst.ForEach( Console.WriteLine ) );
