For most use cases you probably don't need Actors at all. How many systems do you see using Actors in Java/Python/Ruby/PHP/C#? Not many, and they get by just fine. A plain old web server handling HTTP/Thrift/GRPC works for 90% of people, maybe add Futures for parallelism/concurrency and you satisfy 90% of those remaining I use my own Castor actor library for some of my own projects where Actors were really becoming necessary, but at 2 files and 200 lines of code it would be a stretch to call it a framework. If you really think the "Akka-way" is what fits your thinking, go ahead and use it, but it's by no means necessary, and I think most people can get by just fine without it.
