I read both your JW articles this morning and couldn’t resist re-implementing the rock-paper-scissors application using a library I wrote many years ago that provides thread-method-invocation (TMI) in Java.

I then wrote a blog post describing the result.

TMI is not exactly the actors model, but closely related. My code illustrates how easy it is to design a concurrent Java program using message passing, without resorting to byte code instrumentation or another language.

What do you think?

Do any of the frameworks referenced in the article provide the same? One of the features of Erlang is message passing between processes (and machines).
