Perhaps if you told us which compilers and languages you were thinking of porting, or 
the kinds of problems that you anticipate solving, it would give us more information 
to go with?

There are networking classes built on top of async APIs that would be useful for wide 
area concurrency, for example, in addition to the SMP-centric constructs that Jason 
mentioned.

You might get a better response if you forward the question to the Rotor
list at discuss.develop.com, so I'm cross-posting over there.

The support for asynchronous programming on the Rotor platform basically
mirrors the support in .NET proper.  I haven't written exhaustive tests
but you will find support for asynchronous delegates and Monitor-based
synchronization, which in the .NET world are the real core constructs.
If you look through the System.Threading namespace you will find all the
other usual synchronization primitives.

There are a number of "intro to .NET" books available, any of which
briefly cover the namespace. Did you have more particular questions?

Jason
