erlang interop

[ulises]

It'd be great if pulsar actors could exchange messages directly with erlang processes.

Consider this a vague feature request :)

I went ahead and wrote https://github.com/ulises/sliver to this extent. I've done some minimal testing, and with some bookkeeping, one can have pulsar/quasar actors talk to native erlang processes.

If I knew which Actor to extend/subclass I could further integrate things. Any thoughts?

ActorImpl

Thanks!

I wrote a thing for erlang interop with Clojure (I know there's jinterface, etc.).

I've also added a hack on how you could tie pulsar actors with this, talking to erlang native processes. See:

I'm getting "Access Denied" at that repo.

Apologies, try this:

• https://github.com/ulises/sliver/blob/pulsar-examples/reg_ping.erl

Oh, wow! So you've implemented the protocol from scratch! Good job!

[ulises]

Ah, heh, yes. Not that big a deal, it's just following the docs and parsing binaries. The real work is on top of that :)
