Akka - The most important middleware you've never heard of.

Erlang/OTP seems the most important middleware the author of this post probably hasn't heard of ... there isn't even a single mention of it while mentioned all the things copied from it (supervisors for ex)

That is why you use something battle tested, build from ground up concurrent platform -- Erlang/OTP, not some new fangled experimental library.

The only way Akka is interesting if you _need_ to access Java libraries and there is just no other way.
