Mozart/Oz does not implement actors though, they are data flow threads.



Actors are threads with state that communicate by message passing. Mozart allows you to create 'active objects' very easily that also can use OO inheritance. Check out the documentation and ctm book.


Sure, I'm not denying you can implement the actor model in Mozart. I just don't think it's quite a fair comparison to say Mozart/Oz does actors better than Erlang. That's just my opinion though.


Actually, a few years ago mozart/oz had better performance of actors than erlang, I don't know what the case is today. Mozart/oz came a decade later than erlang and they incorporated it's lessons into the language - mozart/oz is a multiparadigm language and has a lot of functionality.
