Https://vertx.io/ It's actively maintained with full time developers, performant, supports Kotlin out of the box, and has more features? - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Hibernate Reactive integrates with Vert.x, but an extension allows to bridge to Project Reactor if wanted. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
Personally, I like vertx, it is modular and you can pick and choose what you need. It also has support for kotlin coroutines, https://vertx.io/, https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-examples/tree/4.x/kotlin-examples. Source: about 1 year ago
I really like Eclipse Vert.x... As both an Erlang dev and Java dev, it's a great synergy and soon to have support for Virtual Threads similar to BEAM. Source: about 1 year ago
Eclipse Vert.x - Add amazing Async to any Java stack. Source: over 1 year ago
Kotlin also has a construct for asynchronous collections/streams. Kotlin's version of AsyncSequence is called a Flow. Just as Swift's AsyncSequence builds upon prior experience with RxSwift and Combine, Kotlin's Flow APIs build upon earlier stream/collection APIs in the JVM ecosystem: Java's RxJava, Java8 Streams, Project Reactor, and Scala's Akka. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
First-class distributed and multicore computing. Swift has first-class “actors” and “distributed” methods. Unison, Erlang, and Elixir are built with distributed being one of the #1 concerns. Though first-class is not super common and I don't really expect it to be because usually libraries are enough (e.g. Scala has Akka and is used WIDELY for distributed); whereas something like linear types and typed effects,...

Akka is a library that implements the actor model for JVM languages. Mainly in Scala, but you can use it in Java too, and maybe others. It doesn't feel as ergonomic as Elixir, but if Elixir is too "out there" for the decision makers in your case, this might be a friendlier alternative. Source: about 1 year ago
Kalix builds on the lessons we have learned from more than a decade of building Akka (leveraging the actor model) and our experience helping large (and small) enterprises move to the cloud and use it in the most time, cost, and resource-efficient way possible. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
Note Akka, the Java & friends framework, is working with the actor model and have as main inspiration Erlang to mimic some features of the BEAM on top of the JVM. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
