> Another characteristic of Actors is that Actors can spawn other Actors. But it's entirely up to the actor if it wants to or not. I could imagine an actor supervision-hierarchy with directory-actors that have child file-actors and other child directory-actors. The file-actors could just be leaves in the hierarchy. Each write operation on a file would be guaranteed to be single threaded via the file-actor. But a file-actor could also launch ephemeral child-actors that do read-only processing on a snapshot of the file. So, parallel processing would be possible for read-only operations. A file-system does fit quite elegantly into the actor model imho. Whether it would be efficient or not, who knows, but at least on the surface it fits.
