Re: RemoteActor based on NIO ?

Hello Arthur,

There are definitely plans for using NIO. In fact, there has been a
student project at EPFL on exactly this. Unfortunately, the code was
only a prototype and not ready for inclusion in the standard library. In
the meantime I didn't have the resources to develop it further.

If you (or anybody else) are interested in working on this, the
prototype implementation is available in the Scala SVN repository:
