When I come to think of it, browser based Javascript might be 
considered to follow the Actor model at a high granularity using 
web-workers or even just http.

But I think Hewitt's main idea was that it should be designed to 
be fault tolerant.  The system of actors should continue to work 
well when an actor crashes and restarts.

I think most «actor»-implementations fail at that. It is 
difficult to create an efficient «library solution» that makes 
the system fault tolerant.
