== Actor libraries and frameworks - addition ==

Perhaps we should add Functional Java (http://functionaljava.org/) to the list of Actor libraries and frameworks.
It's a java framework which enables functional-style programming and an Actor implementation.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/109.160.238.233|109.160.238.233]] ([[User talk:109.160.238.233|talk]]) 23:35, 1 November 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

libcppa was released in version 0.2.1 two days ago (2012-07-02). Furthermore, reference [43] should imo link to the Git Tags (https://github.com/Neverlord/libcppa/tags) rather than to the Git Commits.

== References ==
Section titles should accurately reflect subject matter.  So I have changed the title to reflect the content below.[[Special:Contributions/50.131.244.2|50.131.244.2]] ([[User talk:50.131.244.2|talk]]) 02:21, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

:Although Carl Hewitt was apparently banned from Wikipedia, to me the overall article *still* reads like the typical "Actor model is above everything" propoganda he spams everywhere he appears (see e.g. his self-post at Lambda the Ultimate: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4140 and the subsequent discussions.)

::Hewitt published an account of his Wikipedia misadventures in [https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B79uetkQ_hCKYzcyMjIwMmItNDlmZi00Nzk1LTk5NDItM2RlOTJhZTg5OGUy/edit?usp=sharing Corruption of Wikipedia].

:E.g. most of the sub-sections of "Message-passing semantics" contain almost no reasonable references and are just some rephrasings of statements made by Carl Hewitt, not some things proven / stated by other academics.

:I'd much rather see NOTHING on this page than have a lot of statements which are highly dubious and just confuse me.

:I also fail to understand how can self-published things by Carl Hewitt can be considered valid references? Has anyone even looked at those papers (i.e. papers "published" by Carl Hewitt after the 2000)? They are mostly total rubbish. E.g. some claim to disprove central theorems of mathemathical logic, which is beyond ridiculous.

I have changed the title to something neutral. I will look at the references in a little while, and remove any that are unpublished.

One immediate question is: what is the full publication information for "Proceedings of inconsistency robustness", including the publisher? Strangely, a Google search does not turn up any information, and "robust11.org" is simply an online PDF. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 10:27, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

: The "strangely" is not so strange, when you notice the fact that it is an "institution" setup by Carl Hewitt through which he publishes his own material. I don't know how to state this without sounding sarcastic. [[User:Humble reader|Humble reader]] ([[User talk:Humble reader|talk]]) 10:38, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

::[http://irobust.org iRobust] is a *very* prestigious academic society (see the Board of Directors at the website).[[Special:Contributions/64.134.237.164|64.134.237.164]] ([[User talk:64.134.237.164|talk]]) 04:17, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

: [[User:CBM|CBM]], I see you edited the article by replacing some of the references with the "What is Computation?" article<ref name="zenil">Carl Hewitt, "What is computation? Actor Model versus Turing's Model", ''A Computable Universe: Understanding Computation & Exploring Nature as Computation''. Dedicated to the memory of Alan M. Turing on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Edited by Hector Zenil. World Scientific Publishing Company. 2012</ref>.

: I think it ''can't'' be used as a reference for anything but philosophical arguments on what the actor model "is". (And yet even those being pretty bad ones). If you look at the discussion of the article at [http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4140 Lambda-the-Ultimate] (which I already mentioned above), you can see how other academics are politely trying to point out the flaws of Hewitt's "formal" arguments. Moreover, the whole section on "Relationship to mathematical logic" is already flagged as needing verification, and the linked article in it -- [[Indeterminacy_in_concurrent_computation]] -- is also suggested for deletion in the Talk page of it.

::If you were brave enough, you could go to Lambda the Ultimate and participate in the discussion ;-) [[Special:Contributions/64.134.237.164|64.134.237.164]] ([[User talk:64.134.237.164|talk]]) 04:17, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

: The reason we have this whole mess simply because it is part of big self-reference cycle of Hewitt's productions. If you don't believe me, just check the facts yourselves. Initially after reading these few articles on Actor Model and it's relationship with other fields, for a while I myself believed that Hewitt found some interesting and even fundamentall relationships between Turing Completeness and etc. However, something did not feel quite right, and after taking a more careful look at this I realised that the reason his results "clash" with the rest of the theory is because none of them are formal mathematical arguments. Moreover, I have not found *any* confirmations of this in academic literature (apart from the one published by Hewitt, of course). 

::It will be interesting to see how your amateur opinion plays out.  There will be serious discussions at [http://ir14.org Inconsistency Robustness 2014 next summer at Stanford]. [[Special:Contributions/64.134.237.164|64.134.237.164]] ([[User talk:64.134.237.164|talk]]) 04:17, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

: Finally, the "What is Computation?" article<ref name="zenil"/> is a philosophical essay -- not some kind of a mathematical paper which can be used to argue about some fundamental relationship to / implications about mathematical logic. It's ''mathematical'' logic, right?

::Probably the most interesting (and controversial) article is [http://consistency.carlhewitt.info Mathematics self-proves its own consistency].  Undoubtedly, it will intensively discussed at [http://ir14.org Inconsistency Robustness 2014].

:: Since I started on the "academics trying to confront Carl Hewitt's statements" theme, follow along this conversation in the [http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2013-August/017474.html Foundations of Mathematics mailing list] (the FOM list is a professional academic list, read it [http://www.cs.nyu.edu/mailman/listinfo/fom here]), where again Carl Hewitt is being subtly asked to provide any reasonable evidence about his claims, at which point the conversation dies. Obviously the normal academic ethics is not to "out" someone as being wrong, but either to ask them to provide proof or just ignore flawed claims. Luckily here we don't have to be so ethical and can actually remove the flawed claims rather than ignoring them. -- [[User:Humble reader|Humble reader]] ([[User talk:Humble reader|talk]]) 21:27, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

(2) I removed a reference to a "Middle History" paper which, according to its Arxiv page, was submitted in 2009 but has no publication info, and I was unable to find publication info anywhere else. (3) I combined two references to the "A Computable Universe" paper, so that they share the same reference details, but I removed a link from it to a webpage.

After [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Carl_Hewitt#Post-case_clarification the arbitration case], a large number of IP accounts have been used to make the same sorts of edits that were banned by the arbitration remedies. Recently, IP accounts have been used to insert or recommend citations to Hewitt's current research, sometimes by adding it as a reference for a claim that has long been in an article, e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Actor_model&diff=prev&oldid=679340406]. 

::::There is nothing wrong with references to reliable published work, of course, if they are added by non-banned editors in a way that follows general Wikipedia principles. I would encourage other editors to research the book ''Inconsistency Robustness'' when it becomes available (it is on Amazon, but not yet available in any library indexed by WorldCat), and to add it to the article as appropriate. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 19:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

:::::The book is Vol. 52 in the very prestigious Studies in Logic series under [[Dov Gabbay]].

== Cloud Haskell in the table ==

I don't see a basis for this in the project, with which I was already familiar. Have an outstanding query in the IRC channel supporting it (cloud haskell, CH) and will remove that row shortly, barring discovery/direction to the relevance. Everything with message passing or communicating objects isn't necessarily an Actor system. [[Special:Contributions/108.183.102.223|108.183.102.223]] ([[User talk:108.183.102.223|talk]]) 11:24, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

:So the feedback from one of the principal developers is that CH does what Erlang does and is therefore an Actor implementation. [[Special:Contributions/108.183.102.223|108.183.102.223]] ([[User talk:108.183.102.223|talk]]) 18:42, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

:Said principal developer here. Just a quick follow-up with some more details and references. What exactly is an implementation of the actor model is an interesting question, and I'm not going to make any strong claim that Erlang is such an implementation. However, ''if'' we agree that Erlang is such an implementation ''then'' it follows that Cloud Haskell is too ''because'' it implements the same primitives with the same semantics. This is exactly the same claim that the two citations for Scala make. They reference Hewitt and Agha but only actually claim to implement the Erlang primitives. This is the basis on which the page currently justifies calling Scala a whole actor programming language (even though it's just a library in scala). Exactly the same justification can be made for Haskell as a whole, and certainly for the Cloud Haskell library. For references/citations, use "Towards Haskell in the Cloud" the paper and perhaps Jeff's thesis ([http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/parallel/ links and citation info available]). There is also a [https://github.com/haskell-distributed/distributed-process/tree/master/doc/semantics document which gives the formal semantics of Cloud Haskell], based on a previously published formal semantics of Erlang. So there's clear evidence here. --[[Special:Contributions/82.5.178.99|82.5.178.99]] ([[User talk:82.5.178.99|talk]]) 18:46, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

::So the criteria for being an implementation of the Actor model is at issue, I think. Leaving open for further comment. [[Special:Contributions/108.183.102.223|108.183.102.223]] ([[User talk:108.183.102.223|talk]]) 18:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
