I havn't seen a "Netty for C#" yet, but the C# async landscape is changing dramatically "real soon now". A technology preview has been released which provides C# 5.0 compiler-assisted "async/await" support. It's compiler code-rewriting to support a form of 'stackless' continuation. Which basically means, it's possible to write async code without writing the code as a set of inside-out handlers. http://www.abhisheksur.com/2010/10/c-50-asynchronous-made-easy.html http://player.microsoftpdc.com/Session/1b127a7d-300e-4385-af8e-ac747fee677a Apparently F# has support for a similar pattern with "async/do!". It might be the same implementors.
