paradigm/actor-model

Each Actor is pontentially remote and it exchange messages using a queue.

In Elixir:

spawn function for launching a process.
send for sending a message to a process
a process can invoke receive for receiving a message in its mailbox and process it
link if a process fail, then the failure is propagated to the linked “owner”
process can maintain a state
register pid for making a private spawn process PID as public and anyone knowing the PID can send messages to the process
files are process, so file-system can be distributed
this is the API for process https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Process.html
supervisors are used for managing errors in child process https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Supervisor.html#content

A similar API, but more OOP-oriented, is in Akka
