The tribulations of finding parallels between actors and objects in Erlang.

It's quite easy to draw parallels between the Alan Kay's definition of objects (ie: the important part is messaging) and actors as found in Erlang (independent processes communicating via messages). And one parallel seems to be between the supervisor, and factories (as supervisors are responsible for the lifecycle of it's child processes, as a factory can be for objects, I think).

So, if you have processes A and B supervised by S, but B needs to send messages to A, then it might seem like a good idea to dynamically create both in Module:start_link, eg:

-module(something_sup).

-behavior(supervisor).

start_link() -&gt;

Clojure's rest arguments are quite fast, as it turns out:
user=> (doseq [f [(fn [& r] r) list vector]] (time (dotimes [_ 10000000] (f 1 2))))
"Elapsed time: 89.534 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 1619.788 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 659.573 msecs"
nil
user=> (doseq [f [(fn [& r] r) list vector]] (time (dotimes [_ 100000000] (f 1 2))))
"Elapsed time: 284.97 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 16061.555 msecs"
"Elapsed time: 6207.421 msecs"
nil

Test program for re-enterancy of signal handlers. Compile with 'gcc -o signal signal.c' (or adjust to taste).
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void
handler(int signum)
{
printf("Catching signal %d\n",signum);
sleep(1);
