This is great news. Since the reactive programming course, we had this conversation with some friends on how having a stream processing abstraction on top of Akka cluster, would be awesome. And I think some people have been trying to plug RxScala with Actors. This is awesome, for some of who want to write real time analytics stuff and already using Akka. Can't wait to see this.
