Akka js: Drop Your Actos Outside the JVM Boundaries

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

A near-complete port of Akka core compiles on Scala.js with about 3,000 lines of glue and reuses ~70k shared lines; examples include working ping‑pong actors, a Raft‑style leader election, a to‑do UI and a chat that runs on Node, in the browser via WebSocket, and as a WebRTC peer-to-peer serverless mesh. Reflection, Java stdlib gaps, and serialization remain blockers; Scala‑pickling work is underway and Akka Remote over pluggable transports is the planned next step.
