Hello,

I just looked at Scala RemoteActor sources and I saw that implementation is based on old fashion blocking IO.
Sicne this way a little bit old and (what is more important!) it is NOT SCALABLE I wanted to ask if there are plans to make RemoteActors using NIO ?

In simple scenario when we build client-server software based on RemoteActors we will kill machine after ~1000 connections. After reading "Scala - the next five years" if we want Scala to be the language of the future RemoteActors should be based on NIO !

Thanks,
Arthur.

I'm no expert, but I tend to agree. Maybe we could use existing infrastructure for this, e.g. things like http://mina.apache.org/ ?

Cheers,
Daniel
