You may also want to take a look at how actors are in Scala (I think they are a
little different than usual, so I think they even have a different name,
something like Agents, or something like that):

I really like the actor model, it can scale very well to thousands of
concurrent actors, I know the Unreal engine use them for all scriptable
entities and can process thousands of them per frame.
Bartosz also had an entry about actors:

This is definitely one concurrent model I want to see in D.
