Benefits of the Actor Model

When we compare the Actor Model with the Shared State Concurrency model, the Actor-based Concurrency Model has the following benefits:

• No boilerplate code, and no need for locks and synchronized blocks
• Easy to manage concurrency applications
• Higher level of abstraction over low-level threading API
• No more concurrency issues; we can solve them easily
• Loose coupling between actual business logic and concurrency logic
• Clear separation between two concerns: business logic and concurrency logic
• Better performance because it follows non-blocking and asynchronous 
• It uses the non-blocking communication approach
• It uses immutable messages for communication between Actors
• It utilizes underlying multi-core CPUs very effectively ...
