It looks like an Erlang-inspired Actor system, but I've never had any experience with this type of programming model, so I don't know what its benefits are.

It'd be nice to have a few code snippets geared at newbies in the README as well as a pointer to blog posts explaining why actor-based systems are great.

I want to investigate this, but I don't have the time to research any of this right now, and none of that information is right in front of me.
