I don't get it: Actors are at the core of Scala concurrency model, and are expanded for distributed programming through Akka for instance. To me it'd be the other way around: you'd have to develop Actors in Haskell, don't you? Or maybe you don't mean the same thing by 'Actor'? 2011/12/19 David Pollak <[email protected]> > On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 2:04 AM, Ivan Perez > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I'm actually trying to make a list of companies and people using Haskell >> for for-profit real world software development. >> >> I'd like to know the names of those startups, if possible. >> > > I am building http://visi.pro on Haskell.
