Developing Scala Web and desktop Applications for a long time I thought Actors are sufficient models for concurrency. Than I got into contact with OpenCL/CUDA SIMD processing and now I think that many techniques for parallel data computations like workgroups, item sizes, momory types, barriers are missing from this concept. Concurrency is not only about reactivity but also about processing speed and distribution.
