Is Akka supposed to do what OTP is doing for Erlang?
1 comments

Near as I can tell, Akka is supposed to be Erlang for Java/Scala. OTP would be a layer on top of Akka.
It looks like they've got OTP-like functionality: http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.2.0/scala/fault-tolerance.htm...
As far as I can tell Akka is the same thing to Scala/JVM as OTP is to Erlang/BEAM.
Well I always thought that Scala itself is supposed to be the Erlang for jvm.
