Actors: Object Orientation Evolved

• wccrawford 16y ago
  I'm currently working on a pet project that I think could benefit greatly from this. Anyone got any links on how to implement it? Ruby is my target language, so anything directly about Ruby and Actors is appreciated, but any language will do. Edit: I found these, but I'm looking for something more concrete. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model http://web.media.mit.edu/~lieber/Lieberary/OOP/Act-1/Concurrent-OOP-in-Act-1.html http://web.media.mit.edu/~lieber/Lieberary/OOP/Act-1/Concurr...

    I haven't used this library, but google says it's ruby actors: http://revactor.org/ http://revactor.org/

      Thanks. It looks more complicated than I'd feared. And Revactor hasn't been updated since 2009 and the docs say it's incomplete.

        the nice thing about scala and erlang is that you get everything (threading, messaging, remoting, process control) with the framework, so all your code needs to be concerned about is the business functionality.
