From the post:
Sparked by the recent work on an Akka article on wikipedia, Jonas, Viktor and Yours Truly sat down to think back to the early days and how it all came about (I was merely an intrigued listener for the most part). While work on the article is ongoing, we thought it would be instructive to share a list of references to papers, talks and concepts which influenced the design—made Akka what it is today and what still is to come.
As you already know, I have a real weakness for source documentation, both ancient as well as more recent.
Enjoy!
