Thanks, Dale. I have been enjoying these!
Owen and I have a backburner project where we'd like to employ the
Actor model in a distributed Javascript system using nodeJS on servers
communicating via websockets to the browswers. Have you seen anything
like this done already?
As a proof-of-concept, we plan to try a large-scale traffic model
distributed over 10 or 20 nodes and see how it performs.
