I Erlang full time, I would say the actor model is better than OO, or a rather it like OO distilled. Probably what what Kay had in mind. It is also functional with immutable data and variables. So it requires a different mindset, but I find it it fits well with the actor model. But it certainly is not coupled to it in general.
