I think it would be interesting to try http://docs.paralleluniverse.co/quasar/ too (fibers, and actors on top, for the JVM).

I'll only add that Quasar offers several types of "send" and "receive" operations: blocking indefintely, with timeout and even "try" variants that will not block at all, as well as several mailbox types, s

If you want regular code and not async, then yes, it matters: if you have a lot of OS thread-based actors performing blocking network "send"s as part of their regular control flow, each of them blocks an OS thread and you'll

True, although it's a community project and not part of the main Akka project AFAIK. Worth mentioning though, thanks for pointing out.

I don't agree but can you expand? Which parts are one-sided in your opinion and which other posts?

Can you expand on why you think these statements are not correct? I think they are thoroughly explained in the post.

Actually the statement about logging is a bit different and says that Akka offers an additional logging API, which is correct I believe, and I think this is unnecessary since a pre-existing one could be used. As for clustering it's pro

Actually bytecode manipulation doesn't make JVM alternative languages impossible, on the opposite Quasar allows them to be easily integrated and investigation/work is ongoing to avoid even having to do that. Plus, depending on the
