Franz Bettag's personal blog at uberblo.gs covers programming and career. Since 2011, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Franz Bettag's blog covers actor-model concurrency, including benchmarks comparing Akka and Erlang message throughput and a lightweight-threads demo. HN readers link it for those comparisons.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Well written, good description and nice demo. Would love to see more on how this is different to (or better than) Akka. The programming model is actually close to Akka (with actor systems, supervision, receive method, message passing, etc). The article states that Akka has no true lightweight threads. The guys behind Akka have put it running with 50M messages/second[1] and perfomance vs erlang seems to be good as we…

HN discussionI assume you mean the comment that links here, with Akka getting 2.1M messages/sec? http://uberblo.gs/2011/12/scala-akka-and-erlang-actor-benchm... If you follow the comments there, someone improved the Erlang benchmark to 3M messages/sec, beating Akka once again: http://musings-of-an-erlang-priest.blogspot.dk/2012/07/i-onl... > Shared memory when running on the same machine is actually more efficient since there is…

HN discussionHow do you justify the claim of it being the fastest when at least some benchmarks put Akka at over twice as fast in terms of messages per second? Do you have your own comparisons that you're basing that on? http://uberblo.gs/2011/12/scala-akka-and-erlang-actor-benchm...
