To me, it’s not a change of mentality, but a change of POV on how to think about concurrency. If everything is an actor, and you recognize it early on, you can use tech (elephant in the room is Erlang/Elixir) that might fare better overall. There’s no silver bullet ofc.



One thing common to that tech, including stuff on JVM and .NET, is that then you are at a point where UNIX/POSIX becomes irrelevant, basically my distributed systems story, since the early days of Java and .NET.

Naturally considering Erlang, and any other language with rich runtime and ecosystem as well.
