ESR doesn’t know of the Actor programming model. Intersting. In all honesty, neither did I until 16 months ago. Now I’m transitioning our parallel code to an Actor model.

Check out Pony language. It's like Rust for Actor-based programming. Wallaroo uses it in their production database. So, it's probably decent quality for a new language.
