Roland a08234cd9a introduce base64 random names
- remove Props.randomName and associated logic
- ActorRefFactory contains AtomicLong which is used to generate unique
  children names
- base64-like encoding is used with reverse “digit” order
- disallow given names which are null, empty or start with ‘$’
- random names start have ‘$’ prepended (‘$’ not being one of the 64
  characters)
- special marker “$_” for tempPath until “/tmp” supervisor is introduced
- TestActorRef uses globally unique “$$” prefix, as it creates actors
  beneath any supervisor as instructed by the user

h1. Akka

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.

Akka is here to change that.

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":http://letitcrash.com model which have been used with great success in the telecom industry to build applications that self-heal, systems that never stop.

Actors also provide the abstraction for transparent distribution and the basis for truly scalable and fault-tolerant applications.

Akka is Open Source and available under the Apache 2 License.
