This is a header-only C++17 library implementing actor-based threading.

Messages can be send using the send method, taking zero or more arguments:

  handle.send(1, "foo"s);

And received using the receive function:

  receive(

    [] (int number, const std::string& description) {

      // ...

    },

    [] (const some_object&) {

      // ...

    },

    [] (stop) {

      // stop the loop

    }

  );

Receive will match each message against each selector, and will return when it finds a match. One can also receive with a timeout.

A more extensive example can be found in the examples/ folder, along with its erlang equivalent (taken from the Debian language shoot-out).
