Akka is _not_ a language - I'm not sure where you got that impression? (please explain so I can respond to it - no judgement). Based on the Akka documentation (pre-1.0), it did not seem to be completely a "drop in replacement for scala actors" but I hope it's moving that way (and I'm very pleased that Scala is adopting Akka as the default implementation!).
Heh, yes, anecdotes are meant to be just that....

- Uchikoma 15y agoAh, then the reason of our misunderstanding would be my insufficient knowledge of English. In German I would have said "two days" if it was 2 days and use a "a couple of days" for - lets say 4 or 5. Interesting how culture differs. Sorry, I thought you were using Scala and Java and had to chose if you replace Scala with Clojure (Java + Clojure) or add Akka to Scala (Java + Scala). So I've assumed you counted Akka as a language (Java + Scala + Akka) as you've mentioned 3 languages. I probably didn't read your comments correctly.
- lightcatcher 15y agoI also thought you were considering Akka as a language. The sentence where you mention "leaving 3 languages in the mix" gave me this impression.
- seancorfield 15y agoAh, I see. No, we have another language in the mix which is not relevant to this discussion. The "One True Language" comment was a bit tongue in cheek since I doubt we'd really end up with just a single language across all tiers. I had initially hoped Scala would become our primary backend language but it looks like that "honor" will go to Clojure as we're doing more and more work with that.
