More Akka Typed examples?

[Jonathan Schuster]

Are there more example programs of Akka Typed programs than what is shown at http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/scala/typed.html ? I'm a researcher in programming languages working on useful ways to specify protocols between actors, and the chat room example is a great example of the kind of protocol I'm interested in, i.e, where ActorRefs are passed back and forth over the course of the protocol. My hypothesis is that this kind of protocol is more common when ActorRefs restrict their types.

The pattern used for UDP and TCP in the akka.io module is a good example as well, so I've been looking through the rest of the Akka code base for other examples.

Hi Jonathan,

very glad to see your interest in Akka :-)

The best source of Akka Typed code is currently it's extensive test suite - https://github.com/akka/akka/tree/master/akka-typed/src/test/scala/akka/typed

I don't think you'll find any akka-typed usages out there "in the wild", as it has not yet been part of an actual release - it will be when we release 2.4 (maybe a milestone or RC, we'll see).

Also, bumping this thread so maybe Roland has a word or two to throw into the discussion (akka-typed has been primarily his baby ;-)).

It would definitely be interesting to see how Akka IO would look like when presented using Akka Typed infrastructure—unfortunately I won’t have time to do this in the near-term future, so you are welcome to see and share.

Roland
