Actors.jl: Concurrent Computing with the Actor Model | Paul Bayer | JuliaCon2021

This talk was given as part of JuliaCon2021.

Abstract:
Actors implements the Actor Model of concurrent computation. Actors
- interact via messages,
- represent computations and
- can create other actors.
Programmers can use actors to
- model computational concepts: e.g. atomic blocks, event handlers, state machines,
- implement concurrent objects such as servers, supervisors, firewalls and to
- compose them into an application.
Actors allows to write fault-tolerant Julia applications and make concurrency easier to understand.

Great work! Actors can also be used for modelling systems and for reactive artificial intelligence like neuromorphic computing and beyond. I would love to use your package and contribute more!
