What are the language and product alternatives to Akka?

Question

Right now I\'m looking at Play Framework and like it a lot. One of the parts heavy advertised amongst the features offered in Play is Akka.

In order to better understand

Answer 1

You can also consider use Vertx, which is also a Reactive platform http://vertx.io/

Where there you can consider the Verticle(http://vertx.io/docs/vertx-core/java/#_verticles) similar to Actor paradigm. And the EventBus similar as Databus of Akka(http://vertx.io/docs/vertx-core/java/#event_bus)
