[erlang-questions] Why is Erlang what it is?

[Jason Anderson]

The api docs can be found at http://scala.epfl.ch/docu/files/api/index.html

In particular you want to look at the scala.actors.remote.RemoteActor class
and the other classes in that package

While functional and appearing to work with the few test cases I tried the
current implementation of the RemoteActor probably should not be used as it
will run at 100% cpu in a busy loop waiting for more data as long as there
are jvms connected. You may wish to contact the author about this issue and
to ask if there are any future plans for the library.
