This is the first step towards more type-safety in Actor interactions, comprising: * generic ActorRef[T] that only accepts T messages * generic ActorSystem[T] extends ActorRef[T] (sending to the guardian, whose Props[T] are provided for ActorSystem construction) * removed the Actor trait: everything in there has been made into messages and signals * new Behavior[T] abstraction that consumes messages (of type T) or Signals (lifecycle hooks, Terminated, ReceiveTimeout, Failed), producing the next Behavior[T] as the result each time * the ask pattern is provided and yields properly typed Futures * variants of ActorContext are provided for synchronous testing of Behaviors All of this is implemented without touching code outside akka-typed (apart from making guardianProps configurable), creating wrapper objects around ActorRef, ActorContext, ActorSystem, Props and providing an Actor implementation that just runs a Behavior. |

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 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 the telecom industry has used with great success to build applications that self-heal and 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.
