I've recently become curious about the actor model and would like to
learn more about it and maybe play around with it a bit. The C++ Actor
Framework looks good, but unfortunately it doesn't yet work with MSVC so
I'm waiting for that.
The challenge is making a good
language for it that is sufficiently performant and still allows
breaking out actors to other computational units (computers/CPUs).
I read a comment* on stack overflow that mentions that the important
component is actually environment/platform such as OTP is for Erlang.
I'm not sure how this affects the C++ actor implementations.
