&gt; Akka&#x27;s addition to the actor model - location transparency - takes the actor model a little further and coupled with Scala makes a really nice language and concurrency pairing.<p>In terms of location transparency, what are we referring to here? Because talking to a process in Erlang is location independent. It can be running on another node if you&#x27;d like and you don&#x27;t need to care. I take &quot;location transparency&quot; to mean exactly this.
