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
1
with console from std:io
2
with WaitGroup from std:sync

​
4
var wg = WaitGroup()

6
spawn({_ =>
7
    wg.add()
8
    for(_ in 0|..|11)
9
        console.out("Hello from the actor!")
10
    end
11
    wg.done()
12
})
13
​
14
wg.wait()
