Cats-Actors 2.1.0 Goes Cross-Platform

Imagine writing your actor logic once (typed messages, functional state, the ! operator, supervision and all) and then deciding on a whim whether it runs as a JVM service, a self-contained native binary, or a live interactive app in your browser. No rewrites, no ports, no platform-specific glue. Just one codebase. Cats-Actors can do that now, and in this post we are going to have some fun with it. We will throw a token around a ring of actors on both JVM and Scala Native, and then (because why not) we will drop eight monkey actors into a banana-throwing arena right here inside this page. Real actors. Real messages. Running in your browser.

Excited to announce the release of cats-actors v2.0.1! Update brings various improvements in the README, a crucial fix that expands the uncancelable scope to prevent ask pattern deadlock during system termination, bug fixes (escalateDefault, README, ifM), and added convenience methods in TestKit. A big thank you to our contributors, including new contributor @arnoldlacko and ongoing support from @PetrosPapapa.

Today marks an exciting milestone with the release of Cats-Actors 2.0.0-RC1. This version introduces typed actors, a new feature that the community has eagerly awaited.

Typed Actors in Action - Exploring Cats-Actors with Alice and Bob

Today marks an exciting milestone with the release of Cats-Actors 2.0.0-RC1. This version introduces typed actors, a feature that the community has eagerly awaited. To showcase this new capability, we’ll walk through a classic example of handling wallet transactions between two users, Alice and Bob. So, sit back and relax as we explore how Alice sends money to Bob using typed actors in Cats-Actors.

Hey community,

I've updated Cats-Actors to be fully typed in the messages it sends and receives, based on feedback from the community. This change aims to make actors more type-safe and address some common concerns.

I have opened a PR: https://github.com/suprnation/cats-actors/pull/3. The README.md would be a good place to start.

I would appreciate it if you could take a look and provide feedback to ensure we are heading in the right direction.
