I think the JVM and particularly Java are in desperate need of improvements to the concurrency model. When I compare the concurrency model on the JVM (and especially Java itself) to the modern competition from the likes…

While in general I agree with that philosophy, it doesn't really apply in this case. When Orbit 1 was initially developed, Orleans was not open source, so the initial implementation was based off the Microsoft Research…
So, I'm the original lead developer of this project. This was meant to be a followup to the original version of Orbit which now lives on as orbit-legacy on GitHub. Unfortunately other priorities have meant this project…
