Hi,

Mostlikely for high performance computing à la,
the Actor/Erlang model is dead, they might rely
on MPMC (Multiple Producer, Multiple Consumer)

queue entities separate from the threads. The
ISO Prolog multi-threading support had also such
threads. But besides that was also Actor/Erlang

leaning in practice, like SWI, where threads
have some default queues. So an actor is basically
a Thread and Mailbox conflation. While a MPMC queue

is a kind of separate Mailbox, where multiple
"actors" can read from and write from. A kind of
localized Linda Tuple store.

Which Programming language did adopted the
non-Actor pi-calculus model? Right golang
with its channels.

Bye
