Actor-like pattern in go

Currently, there are two well known languages that support actors: Erlang and Scala.

This is in contrast to thread-based concurrency (like in C++), where the developer has much more work to do to get the system working correctly.

The following blog post discusses a possible implementation of the actor model in go.
