The curse of the A-word

What this post added

The post analyzes the "curse of the A-word" by dissecting four key conflations within the Actor Model: Distributed & Local, Supervision Trees & Actors, Message Passing & One-Way Messages, and State Transition & Become. It argues that the term 'actor' itself is a source of confusion and proposes alternative terminology like 'grains' or 'Cloud Native Objects' to better represent the concepts of distributed virtual actors, emphasizing their similarities to familiar object-oriented programming concepts.
