that discusses why Clojure 'agents' haven't been implemented in BEAM yet. I think (and I'm not familiar with Erlang) that Clojure agents are very similar to Erlang actors.
- weego 7y agoThis is my understanding of agents vs actors, I may be naive or wrong: Actors are an instance of an object that has inherent logic and maintains mutable state within itself Agents are state with logic attached to them that are immutable and return a new instance of the state (along with attached logic)
