I think it is an anti-pattern to design a system where each domain object is a process. Sometimes data is just data and should be managed as such.

I think what makes actor models so nice is the explicit ownership of state. It is not possible to declare "var x = 1" in one file, and access x in another file. You always have to retrieve state explicitly, otherwise it won't be accessible within the scope of your function.
