Any good distributed actor crates?
I remember a crate called riker that did distribute actors but it looks like it's abandoned unfortunately.

18 factors powering the Rust revolution, Part 2 of 3
However, this isn't even 50% of what's out there: Need raw parallel power (and maybe don't need an async runtime)? Checkout Rayon. Need simple Actors for concurrent processing? Checkout Actix. Need a larger Actor system for fault tolerance/CQRS messaging? Checkout Riker. Damn, I sound like a youtube advert 🤦 - For real though, this is the tip of the concurrency iceberg. There is so much more - and it's growing.
- What is the current state of actor systems in Rust?

There are a *lot* of actor framework projects on Cargo.
One more Actor Model implementation for the list: https://github.com/sergey-melnychuk/uppercut

Side project: Raft distributed consensus algorithm implementation & CLI visualization in Rust
PAXOS is even simpler that Raft IMO, when distilled to message-specific state updates. This is my homegrown PAXOS impl in Rust based on also homegrown Actor Model impl in 370 LoC: https://github.com/sergey-melnychuk/uppercut/blob/develop/examples/paxos.rs
