Akka Support

[pstutz]

Hey, thanks a lot for the great work! This would solve a big problem for me if I could use it with Akka.

Viktor mentions @ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/akka-user/pickling/akka-user/CHeusozMtuQ/lfMtqHu0FvoJ that there might be some issues with Akka support because Pickling generates code at compile-time.

Are there any plans for an Akka extension? Can you elaborate in more detail what potential problem Viktor is referring to and what approaches might solve it?

Thank you very much and kind regards, Philip

Hey Philip– sorry for the delay on this. Yeah, earlier Philipp had planned on putting together an Akka serializer based on scala/pickling. We're going to meet in a couple of days to build a roadmap and will evaluate whether or not we'll have time to get it in before our August 16th goal of the 0.9.0 release. I'll post here when we know for sure if it's in for August 16th.

Will https://github.com/scala/pickling/issues/72 possibly break this?

Hey @heathermiller / @phaller is there anything specifically we have to do for this? I think we can close this on our end, and add a serializer to, e.g. akka-contrib.
