[erlang-questions] looking into actor-based algorithms?

[Rich Morin]

Thank you for the interesting and thoughtful response.  I've taken the
liberty of reposting it in my thread on elixir-lang-talk, in the hopes
of encouraging discussion of these challenges in the context of Elixir.

I ran across that section myself.  Sadly, none of the books look relevant
enough to justify the high prices demanded by $pringer.  "The Handbook of
Neuroevolution Through Erlang" is even more expensive, so I doubt that
I'll be buying it any time soon.  Sigh.

Feel free to wander over and join that discussion; you may find that a
few Elixeros are willing to consider using Actors for odd purposes...
