I''ve only taken the briefest of looks at this project. Anyone else have
anything to report about it?

I like Actors. I like ''em so much I actually created a distributed
programming language based on them about a dozen years ago. Then Java came
along and ate the world, so I got out of the language-design business. ;-)

If by "futures," this project refers to that feature from the
"Alice"
programming language, I think those are really cool too.
