- pron 12y ago(main Quasar author): Akka actors are nothing like Quasar fibers (or even Quasar actors). Quasar provides true lightweight threads - though they're not "native" to the JVM, they're as real as Erlang's processes or Go's goroutines - while Akka actors are a formal way to organize asynchronous callbacks.
