I too have heard that using Akka from Clojure is not so easy, see Distributed Actors in Clojure<http://martinsprogrammingblog.blogspot.no/2012/05/distributed-actors-in-clojure.html>(5/2012) – a discussion of options for Akka-like stuff in Clojure. Akka is great but “interfacing to Akka from Clojure is not nice<http://blog.darevay.com/2011/06/clojure-and-akka-a-match-made-in/>, and certainly not idiomatic”. Though there have been some new Akka-Clojure libs since that (akka-clojure<https://github.com/jasongustafson/akka-clojure>, okku <https://github.com/gaverhae/okku>).
I also believe that Rich Hickey has some good reasons for why / when not to use actor-based concurrency. I cannot find the reference now, perhaps it is mentioned (also) in the StrangeLoop 2013 Clojure core.async Channels<http://www.infoq.com/presentations/clojure-core-async> talk.
