Why is this deprecated? about anodejs HOT 2 CLOSED

This project has been superseded by others for numerous reasons.

• Implementing an actor system in JavaScript ends up being a pattern. If a user does not follow the pattern, it is not as useful and mixing things can end up breaking and confusing things. Actors are still poorly understood in Node.js community. Combining that with no restrictions, it is easy to not write actor code and therefore lose all advantages of actors and end up with the worst of both worlds. It ends up not being useful.
• This was one of my initial attempts at building an actor system. It served its purpose/lifecycle for exercising a real implementation. Other projects that followed better address actor implementation challenges.
  • Crosstalk (multiple projects, most comprehensive description in this README)
  • go-actor
  • Organix Project in active development
• CoffeeScript is a hurdle
• anodejs did not solve the problem of communicating over a network, it only worked on a single machine.
  • discover is an experiment in solving this problem

If I were to reboot this project and create an actor framework in Node.js, it would likely be a Node.js port of Organix Tiny Actor Run-Time

Agreed that it's easy for users to shoot themselves in the foot by not comprehending/accurately implementing the appropriate patterns. I'll check out the other projects you link to in your response.

Thanks!
