That's great. I also got interested to read about Erlang and the original Actor pattern there. In your motivation doc I clicked the Erlang/OTP link to the main Erlang page, but I kind of had the same problem there, of having a hard time finding some light reading introducing the motivation of Erlang.
Their documentation section doesn't immediately yield anything that looks like quick reading to understand the motivation or design philosophy. I could not figure out how to navigate https://erlang.org/doc/ https://erlang.org/doc/ to find introductory material.
Do you have any pointers to good reading that would introduce the Actor pattern in Erlang?
