Fun with Actors in Unison

Implementing akka/erlang-style actors/processes in unison. Unison’s “abilities” provide for a very natural and ergonomic experience for using actors. We’ll go through the implementation, live-code some demos, and explore some runtime visualizations.

(can provide more detailed description in a few days if necessary)
