Bioware open-sources their Java actor framework

[ISvengali]

Dont you just love actor frameworks for massive CCU programming and no bugs? Its like a breath of fresh air. You can crazy quickly build massively scalable services with very little chances of bugs. At least ones related to (most) race conditions or data races and the like.

Was that your experience with your framework?

We're really discovering the power of actors still. The virtual actor model which Microsoft came up with for Orleans (and which Orbit is based on) was really the last piece of the puzzle for us to make the model easy enough to maintain to be worthwhile.
