I must mention that in Finnish the word 'akka' is a derogatory word for 'woman'. It's used the same way as the words 'hag' and 'bitch'.<p>Also this: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akka_(spirit)" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akka_(spirit)</a>
I wonder if Play 2.0 will be released right behind Akka. I noticed that the release candidates were almost in sync with each other when I was checking out the commit history of Play20 on Github the other day.
Actor paths are a pretty nice feature. Looking up actors by classname or dealing with a group always seemed kludgy.<p>However, this approach is less flexible and makes Akka more all encompassing in feel.
