There are a *lot* of actor framework projects on Cargo.

• Rustler

  35 4,154 8.6 Rust

  Safe Rust bridge for creating Erlang NIF functions

  

I mean, if you just copied erlang exactly, you'd at least have erlang-in-rust (which is what rustler seems to do)

• Celluloid

  2 3,883 0.0 Ruby

  Actor-based concurrent object framework for Ruby

  

Speaking as someone who has used Erlang longer than most, who created a pre-Elixir-like language for Erlang's BEAM VM, and who routinely listens to Carl Hewitt's rants about why Erlang actors are bad, and who tried to make a Ruby actor library after using innumerable other library-level actor solutions...

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• Akka

  33 12,921 9.4 Scala

  Build highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM

• component

  13 2,068 0.0 Clojure

  Managed lifecycle of stateful objects in Clojure (by stuartsierra)

  

Yeah like I mentioned I'm not like super sold on the everything-should-be-an-actor paradigm, but I find value in DDD + a light implementation of Components (similar to stuartsierra/component).

• gleam

  95 14,935 9.9 Rust

  ⭐️ A friendly language for building type-safe, scalable systems!

  

Thanks for the insight -- I personally can see benefit in remaking Erlang in rust just for the strong typing. At present I only know of Gleam which is typed Elixir and don't know any typed Elixir. I like types very much, and Rust is basically second to Haskell in my mind for expressive type systems that I like using.

• i2c_hackery

  1 0 0.0 Rust

  Some experimentation from before I heard about the upcoming Prusa Connect software.

Does that one even count, in the absence of some sort of macro to write all the boilerplate? ;)

• ponyc

  61 5,598 9.3 C

  Pony is an open-source, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high performance programming language

  

For actor centric programming, I'm more interested in Pony than trying to build actors in top of Rust, where most actor abstractions feel a little clunky and out of place.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• specs

  13 2,402 7.2 Rust

  Specs - Parallel ECS (by amethyst)

  

Wait did the person at your company write specs or something else because they weren't pleased with it? I don't know much about amethyst and vaguely know about entity component systems but I watched a talk on someone making a game with amethyst and was pretty impressed -- it looked thoroughly approachable and I do not doubt the performance is there (since the whole reason you do ECS is performance).

• moleculer-rs

  1 19 0.0 Rust

  🚀 Progressive microservices framework for Rust, based on and compatible with moleculerjs/moleculer

  

You can see it here: https://github.com/primcloud/moleculer-rs

• protocol

  1 22 1.8 JavaScript

  Protocol specification for Moleculer Framework (by moleculer-framework)

  

Here is the protocol I implemented in rust: https://github.com/moleculer-framework/protocol

• Moleculer

  16 6,009 7.4 JavaScript

  :rocket: Progressive microservices framework for Node.js

  

Would love to. I built a rust client for the moleculer microservices framework

• uppercut

  2 9 4.7 Rust

  Small and simple actor model implementation.

One more Actor Model implementation for the list: https://github.com/sergey-melnychuk/uppercut

• ponyarchive

  1 0 0.0 Pony

  A wrapper for libarchive for Pony

Personally I know all this from digging around in libponyrt, writing some bad Pony code and spending some time in the Pony community.

• crates.io

  660 2,796 10.0 Rust

  The Rust package registry

  

I always thought that crates.io should impose a minimum crate name length requirement, eg 16+chars, and require community voting for shorter names for easily discoverabilty for popular projects. ( so 10+ projects all have lengthy names.. and eventually when one gains traction it can be renamed plain "actors-rs" or whatever

• distillery

  1 2,958 1.1 Elixir

  Simplify deployments in Elixir with OTP releases!

I've saved a link to distillery just in case, cheers.

• lucet

  5 4,061 6.6 Rust

  Discontinued Lucet, the Sandboxing WebAssembly Compiler.

  

I guess lucet could be an under-layer for this but it's not really the same, different levels of the stack. Fascinating.
