Hello,

I do not know any recents efforts... but there is the old work of ACTalk:

This has been ported to Squeak back than.

Was any progress made with this or any other Actors library?

Thanks!

I could package up something that works like E or AmbientTalk. And Clojure's agents are easily implemented, too.
