I've experimented with Kotlin and coroutines in programming Akka. And I must say, I really like the combination so far.
But before I go into it some brief preliminaries for those who don't know Akka and actors.
Actors are a programming model that fits cloud native architectures particularly well. Being highly available and scaling horizontally. All while embracing the realities of multiple servers collaborating, server instances coming and going and the network having hickups.
On the JVM Akka is the prominent actor framework. It's been around for a while now and as a result it's highly reliable, well thought out and offers a wide programming eco system. My own interest in Akka is because of its suitability for software systems that can only be built with business events as a key construct and thinking model. And then of course materialized views, CQRS and near real-time data streams play a big role in constructing those systems.
