Merits a discussion! https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/discussions If they are provided by pekko, are actors called pectors? |

Scala actors were abandoned in no small part because they were already awfully primitive. (I built a system on top of them, but it was very limited.) At this point, they're hopelessly behind the times. The right alternative to Akka, for those who are looking for one, is probably Pekko, which starts out from a mature and reasonably state of the art basis. |

If interested in something lighter weight than Akka/Pekko, there's also https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/castor in Typelevel ecosystem, see discussion at typelevel/cats-effect#2627 |

Speaking of Typelevel, if you're looking for event-sourcing (which as far as I'm concerned was always the killer app of Akka), there's also Edomata: https://github.com/hnaderi/edomata |

In regards to the licensing fiasco with Akka and lightbend, it would be great to bring scala actors back from the dead as an alternative to the akka eco-system. Please discuss.
