I'm scratching my head a bit on what "actor framework" really means. The only mildly interesting feature I see in BeeHive examples is the Channel, which looks like an asynchronous RPC, perhaps with ordering. Can someone please give an "elevator pitch" example of what "true actor framework" is and how it's different than async RPCs?
