I don't have the time at the moment to unpack all of his points; many of them are valid concerns, but I don't find any two of them especially convincing enough to abandon the objectively ( :) ) superior actor model.

Not to make your own point for you, but fork isn't available on every platform either. Windows has no fork. I'm not sure I consider forking analogous to threading anyways. They are both multiprocessing primitives, but I generally define threading (and it's derivatives) through how it's different than forking. That could easily just be me though.
