We believe that writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction.
Using the Actor Model together with Software Transactional Memory we raise the abstraction level and provide a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications.
For fault-tolerance we adopt the "Let it crash" model which have been used with great success in the telecom industry to build applications that self-heal, systems that never stop.
