PoC actor model implementation

Bollywood

Bollywood a simplistic actor model framework. I wrote this to get an idea how an actor model could be implemented in Go.

It is not meant to be used in production and doesn't do support networking, limiting the actors to work within a single process.

Usage

    e := NewEngine()
    // spawn a baker actor 
	err := e.Spawn("baker", &baker{})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// send a message to the baker
	err = e.Send("baker", &bakeBread{})
	if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    // stop the baker:
    err = e.Stop("baker")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

See the tests for usage

What about a real Actor Model implementation in Go?

Please see Hollywood for a more complete implementation of the Actor Model in Go.
