Love the idea, but i am having a hard time finding out what the code looks like. Where can i see the code for spawn, receive and send?

Why is there any boiler plate code at all? Why isn't hello world just a five line programme that spawns and sends hello world somewhere 5 times?

This was a constant source of confusion for me with Akka. They seemed almost proud of how much boilerplate and how many weird implicit conversions were exposed to the developer.

That's just Scala community in general.
