> I come from writing swift for 7 years (I was at apple) and really thought they nailed the actor model
Which actor models are you comparing to? What do you think of Erlang/Pekko/Pony?
I roughly understand their models but have never looked at Swift's. On the surface it looks like it borrows heavily from each of these (now that I'm looking) which sounds potentially awesome. I suppose I'm curious what you think makes Swift's model 'nailed' relative to alternatives.
It's pure curiosity. I love actor models and enjoy learning about the paradigm in general.
