Hi is there any pattern that can be used for actor like behavior today given the fact the `actor` builder is obsolete?

There’s no API for it, but you could still use the pattern

I'm fine with the pattern, would just need some pointers or perhaps an example

<https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262511414/actors/|This> was my intro to the theory, but there’s lots of books about actor-based programming. My first exposure to the concept was Scala’s Akka, but iirc they had pretty good docs on the concepts too. 

Oh you meant the general actor pattern... I'm familiar with that, just not with how to do it with Kotlin coroutines, though I can make some guesses based on what I know. I was hoping for some guidance using an example someone else has done

It's basically just a channel and a coroutine that's looping on receiving events from that channel

A bit outdated and very rudimentary:

Thanks... this reminds me very much of a similar thing I did for Scala

And this is the approach I thought to take
