Actor Model
The Actor model is a way to design systems by treating "actors" as fundamental units of computation. Each actor can receive messages, process them, and send messages to other actors, all while managing its own state. This model simplifies building concurrent and distributed applications, as actors operate independently and do not share state, reducing complexity and potential errors. It's commonly used in programming languages like Erlang and frameworks like Akka, making it easier to scale systems and handle many tasks simultaneously without conflicts.
