Fresh from the Oven: Akka gets Typed
summary
Akka ships experimental Akka‑Typed (2.4.x) and Akka‑Streams (1.0‑M1): actors are now defined as explicit behaviors with typed ActorRef envelopes, removing the implicit sender and avoiding envelope allocation when unused, and supervision is enforced via a typed top‑level supervisor. Streams implement the Reactive Streams spec with a published Reactive Streams TCK, back‑pressure across TCP to HTTP, a Flow/Materializer API, graph combinators, and conflate semantics; performance and interoperability improvements are already in release‑candidate pipelines.
