Hello,
I have been playing around with Common Lisp for a while and I really want to get this idea working.
I have been reading a lot about Akka, but I'm not really a Java/Scala/distributed guy. To my understanding, Akka is an agnostic way to create Actors that can send messages at varying speeds, speeding up with the available memory and cores and easily extending itself for distributed communication via remote Actors. I'm not an expert by any means, so feel free to correct me on the description.
I would like to create bindings to this example http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.1.2/java/untyped-actors.html and it was suggested to me that I might use "java:jnew-runtime-class" by the very nice ehu on #abcl.
My repository is at https://github.com/ubikation/chemicalambda if anyone is interested in my progress or wants a better idea of where I am (not really beyond starting the project at the moment).
At the minimum I would like to create bindings, but I would like to do something more interesting after I get some stuff working.
I do not know what I am doing at all, but I am hoping that creating these bindings will help solidify my understanding of Common Lisp and of ABCL in particular.
Thanks again!
