So, basically fighting actors with channels and synchronous selective operators, right? This is not how it works, because bounded nondeterminism is precisely what actor model was trying to get away from.
- xyz-x 10y agoI had to read up a bit on (un-)bounded non-determinism there. It would seem actors give you even looser safety properties in that it has unbounded non-determinism and you can't really sure about anything about your programming model in the default case.
- zzzcpan 10y agoThat was the point, you can't have something reliable and performant in a real world if you use a bounded model for it [world].
- xyz-x 10y agoI'm actually don't agree at all to this. Is e.g. the MillWheel software, or Kafka, or Storm/Spark inherently unreliable and non-performant because they feature strong consistency and bounds on their operations? I don't think so.
