I was looking at Actor.scala, which contains SimpleActor, SimplestActor, TypedActor, GenericActor, and ForwardableActor. Some people will say, once you know what something does, who cares what it's called? But names can really make a difference in learning curve, memorization, and code readability. Other than ForwardableActor, do these names reflect what they do? My suggestions: Change SimpleActor to Messageable (it only defines an abstract ! method; arguably more general than an actor) SimplestActor to AnyMessageable (it's SimpleActor with Any for T) TypedActor to RespondingActor etc. (what it adds is !? and !! methods) GenericActor to AnyRespondingActor (or could it be replaced by 'RespondingActor with AnyMessageable'?) ForwardableActor to ForwardingActor (it doesn't get forwarded, it forwards messages) Thoughts?
