It’s half-baked actors. Well not baked at all (“no-bake actors”?) as isolated heaps and shared nothing is not easy to accomplish. OS processes can do it but they can be heavyweight. BEAM VM does a great job of it, though.

There every complex enough distributed system will eventually implement Erlang but in an ad-hoc and not very good way. Quite a lot of systems ended up with actors. TigerBeetle in Zig, FoundationDB in C++. But they miss critical aspect of it

That’s the only way I would utter it — if I can then sit down and so do it. If I am asking someone else to do I would ask them to tell me how hard it would be and if they need help or if they suggest a different approach.

Wonder if it depends on which side of banking: investments, accounting, clients side (web pages, and ui) vs the backend. Or if we're talking about central banks vs a small credit union.
