An Erlang style actor library for Objective-C

This tiny Objective-C library allows you to send and receive asynchronous messages between processes or threads akin to the Erlang concurrency approach. Plankton is thus an actor oriented peer-to-peer platform for asynchronous share-nothing message passing. Messages can be any Objective-C objects which represent property-lists. Plankton uses the Cocoa property-list encoding for the on-the-wire representation. Message reception is done via the NSPredicate facility of Coca which allows for sophisticated pattern specifications. Usage of Plankton should be easy: 1. create a PLPlatform object and cling to it PLPlatform *platform = [[PLPlatform alloc] init]; 1. create your own actor-id NSString *aid = [platform createAid]; 1. send a message to another actor (you need its aid for that) [platform send:message to:otherAid]; 1. prepare reception of messages from other actors
