Dramatis is the public outing of your approach to Actors for concurrency but I bet you have used plenty of other approaches. What other approaches have you used? I imagine several don't even require message-passing semantics. Have you tried transactional memory? Futures? Plain old mutexes & semaphores? You clearly have a lot of experience here; how about a post comparing/contrasting the different mechanisms you have used before and the outcome.
