Akka preserves types across machine boundaries, at least inasmuch as the External Term Format does, AFAIK. Would you say that it's missing something?

- virtualwhys 11y agoAkka production release is all about `Any`, as in it's untyped, and you have to pattern match on the receiver to the expected type. That's a far cry from Akka Typed [1], the recently released experimental branch, which allows you to match on the "real" type; as a result distributed code is compile time checked...a dream scenario ;-) [1] http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/scala/typed.html http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/scala/typed.html
- tekacs 11y agoYup, I've been using Akka Typed myself recently. Having said that it doesn't change the fact that Akka preserves types in most arbitrary hierarchies today, across machine boundaries.
