One of the things I can't see the actor model explain is how to scale an actor vertically, which obviously has it's purpose. Amdahl's law and all that.
However these days we see people build actor frameworks using CSP (golang) and "restricted shared memory" in Rust http://actix.rs
Isn't it ironic? Yet shows that the actor model can be inclusive of many "competing" paradigms, and gain from them, perhaps even need them to scale vertically?
