Read Original

This technical article demonstrates how to perform runtime code hotswapping in Scala, similar to Erlang's capabilities, by leveraging the Actors concurrency model. It explains actor-based message-passing, defines messages using case classes, and provides a step-by-step guide with code examples for building a server that can be dynamically updated.
