I mean, if it doesn't count as an implementation of an actor system, then I'm not sure what does, regardless of whether it was incidental to the design goals of Erlang as a language. It certainly walks and quacks like an actor system in my opinion, and I don't think you have to squint very hard at all to see it.

Perhaps we have different ideas of what an "actor system" is though.

Dr. Hewitt typically chimes in on these threads to emphasize some of the differences between his model and Erlang. I don’t recall his username to locate some of those.
