far as i know..actors share a mutable queue.. so there's good possibility for dead-locks
for scala theres an akka framework , that you can solve that with its actors .. that let me see.. uses a STM.. and its actors are pretty the same as .. clojures agents i think clojure are making disciples in others languages too :) but the greatest argument is the lack of composabillity and reuse that side-effect functions suffer from... the old divide-n-conquer..
