Erlang allows the actors to be spread across physical nodes. It's like a cluster OS, not just a language that uses an actor model.
Do any of the library actor models offer something like that?

We found that the difficulty didn't lay in getting Akka to work in a clustered fashion—that was simple—but rather in architecting our backend's work distribution mechanics so as not to overload any given node. I blogged about our experience with Akka: http://blog.goconspire.com/post/64130417462/akka-at-conspire-part-1-how-we-built-our-backend-on http://blog.goconspire.com/post/64130417462/akka-at-conspire...
