First point, the use of actors in distributed systems is popular and common in industry. (This can be a contested point depending on the audience.) Examples:
Distributed actor runtimes currently have limitations that affect them in 2 dimensions:
- scalability
- latency
We want to scale to larger clusters. We want to use all available network bandwidth.
But we don't want people to have to change their code or to need a new VM!
