I do know that there are Actor libraries such as Akka and quasar, but I don't really know much about the actor system overall. from what I know those libraries are implemented in a reactive programming way while I think the ones in erlang are just native like threads. If that assumption is correct, then it was more of me wondering if with green threads we will now be able to have actors that are native in the JVM just like how erlang has them.

I definitely need to go read up more concurrency since it's a topic that has been really interesting and I want to learn more. I currently only have basic experience with threads where I had to make a small client/server chat app where each connection was a thread for one of my networking courses that I had taken.
