That is presumably intentional, since if you could access actor state synchronously it wouldn't really be much of an actor. This sounds a lot like a "doing it wrong" kinda problem.

Not sure how you'll do this without garbage collection (like reference counting, which is what Pony uses iirc).

Honestly I suspect if you continue forward you'll probably walk away with much more appreciation for Pony's design decisions.
