Hi Roland, Thank you for your answer. 0.3 looks really exiting. Any timeline for 0.3?
Regarding ActorSystem shutdown: When writing an akka actor based application, you have to explicitly shutdown the ActorSystem in your main thread once everything is done. There is not always an easy way to know when to do that (but a few good article like http://letitcrash.com/post/30165507578/shutdown-patterns-in-akka-2 ). With akka-stream, actors are hidden below a new layer of abstraction. As stated above, it will be possible to mix Future and akka-stream in 0.3. It seems to me that knowing when your application has finished and when to call ActorSystem.Shutdown may become really difficult with a mix of akka-stream and Future. My question was about recommendation / information or best practices regarding how to know when to shutdown the ActorSystem. Am I clearer? Do I miss something obvious?
