Two sides to every story.<p>What is not beautiful is that:<p>- the people who conceived the original idea of the &#x27;Actor model&#x27; were not appreciated enough, and their work had to languish in obscurity, during the OO (object-oriented) hype era, before it was rediscovered and later the dots were connected.<p>- &#x27;reinvention of wheels&#x27; is bad because it&#x27;s inefficient.<p>- Not to mention original OO idea by Alan Kay, in Smalltalk, was actually the &#x27;Actor model&#x27; but it ended up being very misunderstood when implemented in C++, Java, etc, with the term OO being hijacked.
