They do tag their project as "actor-model" so there is some similarity. However I see their communication model is designed to be more protocol agnostic.
- Natales 7y agoFunny thing is that a distributed, resilient, asynchronous message passing program in Erlang, is their equivalent of a "Hello World". It's so natural, and so well baked into the runtime itself, that it's hard to do something different. Good for the SwimOS folks to keep working in this important space, but I would have expected at least some mention of Erlang/OTP in their site, if nothing else, to understand the difference in approaches.
