This is an interesting idea. I was thinking about something similar in Smalltalk or Erlang the other day. Mostly building on the actor/object+mailbox concept.
I didn’t actually do anything with that idea yet but may look at the idea in Elixir this weekend.
I was thinking about Smalltalk as well before I made Autolith. I ended up going with Common Lisp because I know Lisp much better (last time I used smalltalk was like, whew, 2014 or so) and because it has better platform support and ecosystem (at least in my experience).
I think Elixir could be great, I knew a guy who was trying to do an agent in Elixir, but sadly didn't get far.
Keep me posted if you get anywhere! And if you'd like to try Autolith, I am happy to help with issues/questions on our Zulip, haha
