Top 9 distributed-actor Open-Source Projects

Akka

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

Project mention: Modern Async Primitives on iOS, Android, and the Web | dev.to | 2023-12-06

Kotlin also has a construct for asynchronous collections/streams. Kotlin's version of AsyncSequence is called a Flow. Just as Swift's AsyncSequence builds upon prior experience with RxSwift and Combine, Kotlin's Flow APIs build upon earlier stream/collection APIs in the JVM ecosystem: Java's RxJava, Java8 Streams, Project Reactor, and Scala's Akka.

Project mention: .NET 8 – .NET Blog | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-14
