Thanks @zevv for the nice summary! I'm sure you will excuse my more positive, totally biased take on your work:

Sounds amazing! Plenty of people have been waiting for this thing! Was it hard to write? I bet. Are you burned out now that it finally begins to work? I can imagine. So let others join the party. ;-) Would it been easier with an "atomic ARC" mode? Sure. Yet you managed to do without. **The real question is how hard it is for client code to avoid triggering (non atomic) ARC problems when using your actors runtime.**
