Another .NET Rete Implementation – NRuler

January 7, 2010

I just spotted another .NET implementation of Rete – NRuler. The site shows only 10 downloads, but it seems to have been live less than a month so far. Any of the 10 downloaders care to share their impressions? How does it compare with NxBRE or SRE?

(As an aside, I spotted NRuler because it is linked in the “See also” section of the Wikipedia article on Rete. At best, the link to NRuler should be an “External link” rather than a “See also” – and probably not even that. As an industry, we need to stop spamming this article with promotional product-specific links. Yes, I know that NRuler isn’t a commercial product, but I don’t see any reason for it to be linked there over any other piece of software.)


Another Dormant .NET Rule Engine Project: Simple Rule Engine

January 6, 2010

I recently stumbled across another rule engine for .NET that I hadn’t seen before: Simple Rule Engine (SRE).

Looks dormant, or possibly dead altogether. If any readers have tried it out, I welcome comments about your experiences with it.


NxBRE Project Seems To Have Gone Dormant

September 1, 2009

Not sure why I didn’t spot this before, but it appears that the NxBRE project (a .NET rule engine) has recently gone dormant. Cheers to David for all the work he put in over the years.
