At the moment I would say Strymonas is a tech demo. If I was reviewing the code there would be a lot of comments along the lines of "seal this trait", for example.

I would expect it to be very much faster than Akka Streams. It has quite a different design as far as I can tell, and doesn't support things like distribution across machines.

I thought that Akka Streams didn't support distribution either, at least not yet. Has that changed?

It does actually. Check out http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-stream-and-http-experimental/1...., where a distributed echo example is shown.

No, that still has not changed yet.
