Building Concurrent Applications with WebObjects and Scala

Given that todays processors ship with dual or quad cores and server processors ship with between 8 to 32 cores, languages like Java, Ruby, Groovy and Python are struggling to keep up.
Scala, as its name suggests is built from the ground-up for concurrent programming - a methodology that can take advantage of these modern multi-core processors.
If you use Scala for a concurrent programming, the chances are that you're using Scala Actor to do that.
Using Scala Actors with EOF
EOF being notoriously single-threaded, is incredibly unsuitable for use by Scala Actors.
