## Introduction
TODO intro
An actor is a stateful resource that has to be explicitly started and stopped.
It is important to note that actors do not stop automatically when no longer
referenced, every Actor that is created must also explicitly be destroyed.
The only simplification is that stopping a parent Actor will also recursively
stop all the child Actors that this parent has created. All actors are also
stopped automatically when the `ActorSystem` is shut down.
@@@ note
An `ActorSystem` is a heavyweight structure that will allocate threads,
so create one per logical application. Typically on `ActorSystem` per JVM process.
