Where is Elixir and the Actor Model heading?

…and when Golang inevitably creates an Actor library of their own, that newbie may never give Elixir a second thought.

Then we can just quote Joe Armstrong

@AstonJ

I heard Crystal folk say they want to implement something like the Actor model that Erlang has, but I’ve also heard @joeerl (I think in relation to Java stuff) say something along the lines of that sure, anyone can implement a similar model to Erlang - but then they’ll need 20 years to get to where Erlang is at. Erlang wasn’t just built and then stayed the same - it was worked on, tweaked, enhanced over a couple of decades to get it to where it’s at today
