The Actor model is a design pattern for concurrent computing where entities, called actors, exchange messages with one another.In this presentation, Jim will discuss how to implement a turn-based multiplayer game using Go, Rust, and Scala. The emphasis will be on evaluating the performance, reliability, and developer experience associated with each implementation.By the end of this talk, listeners will have a better understanding of the tradeoffs between Go, Rust, and Scala.
