Scala and Akka are... less simple. It's also not like the actor model takes over the whole paradigm. Actors are largely a runtime concern. You're still using modules and functions. The JVM is also less suited to implementing an Actor model. A lot of the BEAM's power comes from the preemptive scheduler.
