I've read Chris Lattner proposal on concurrency, and if i'm correct, the proposal is to start implementing async / await mechanism first, then other more evolved mechanisms (such as actors) on top later.
My question after reading the many conversations (and confusion) around the execution order of async / await on the mailing list is this : Isn't the actor model a more "elementary" concurrency model than async / await, and so, from a theoretical point of view, wouldn't it make more sense to implement it first as a layer to build future other concurrency mechanisms on top ? I'm putting emphasis on the "theoretical" aspect of my question, because i'm 100% certain that if Mr Lattner decided to go this path, it's because it makes more sense from an implementation point of view.
