Using actors and messages, concurrency is easier to understand. However, most developers don’t want to learn a new programming language in order to use actors and messages. If you want to forget a bit about threads and locks, you can add nice actor support to an existing Java application using Jetlang.
Jetlang offers a simple yet powerful lightweight concurrency model borrowing concepts from Erlang and Scala. It offers actors, messages, fibers and channels complementing Java’s existing java.util.concurrency package.
