Thanks, Dale. I have been enjoying these!
Owen and I have a backburner project where we'd like to employ the
Actor model in a distributed Javascript system using nodeJS on servers
communicating via websockets to the browswers. Have you seen anything
like this done already?
As a proof-of-concept, we plan to try a large-scale traffic model
distributed over 10 or 20 nodes and see how it performs.

Throughout the series, I've had the opportunity to present a wide
variety of powerful language constructs. Of course, concurrent
evaluation/execution has been an ongoing theme. Pattern matching as
part of the resolution of equations is one of my favorites.
Single-assignment data-flow variables played an important role in
automatic resolution of data dependencies. The lambda-abstraction
mechanism is applied universally to support parameterization of not
only expressions, but statement blocks too. I hope this series can
serve as an interesting and informative reference.
