So many Actors, any thing new?

[IL]

There're so many Actor models, how is yours?

Indeed, Erlang is the only one, right now, I can use smoothly. Even
scala is hard to use (hope it will be better after JDK7).

Thanks for your interest.
I think Actorom has a few interesting features over its Java
competitors, most notably:

1) Intuitive and minimal object oriented APIs, completely based on
Java 5 and annotations, for a robust and easy to use actors object
model.
2) Support for local, in-memory, actors communication, as well as
remote communication based on sockets and non-blocking I/O, providing
a way to easily exchange messages between actors on remote hosts.
3) Support for two different threading policies: lightweight (green)
threads, supporting millions of concurrent requests and actors, as
well as native thread pools, supporting higher concurrency levels.

AFAIK, there's no Java implementation providing 2) and 3).

I'd be more than happy to make the Actorom programming model even
easier, so give it a try and share your thoughts!

Thanks again,

Well, I've heard that it support remote communicate, good job.

Since I've started work with erlang I nearly forgot oo :-)

There's a long way to go, hope you can be successful.
