Functional Java 2.8 contains a concurrency API that implements Actors as seen in Erlang and Scala. This allows a user to take advantage of multiple core machines in their Java code.

As an experienced Java developer I found the example incomprehensible. It was also burdened with demonstrating techniques of Functional Java that have nothing to do with Actor concurrency. Overall, not a good article and yet another misguided attempt for Java to support Actor Model concurrency. Kilim is a very compelling effort to add Actors to Java *withouut* altering the syntax and coding style to the point of being unrecognizable.
