Roland d6fc97c48d introduce akka.actor.creation-timeout to make Jenkins happy
- I had reused akka.actor.timeout for ActorSystem.actorOf calls (which
  “ask” the guardian to create the actor), but 5sec proved too short for
  Jenkins
- CreationTimeout defaults to 30sec now, let’s hope Jenkins is not
  slower than _that_.

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.
