Actors

Hades implements the Actor model in a very lightweight way. Every process in Hades has a state and a message queue. In Hades, one can pass messages from process to process. Processes are referenced via PIDs.
More on the actor model here.
One can create a new actor with the built-in spawn function.
Example
with console from std:io
with WaitGroup from std:sync
​
var wg = WaitGroup()
​
spawn({_ =>
    wg.add()
    for(_ in 0|..|11)
        console.out("Hello from the actor!")
    end
    wg.done()
})
​
wg.wait()
