Support for akka-typed

[cheatmenot]

Hello, I am new to zio and akka, and maybe it is best we add support for akk-typed because most new developers are into akka-typed like me. Thanks!

@cheatmenot actually I was about to do it when I discovered that PubSub is missing in Akka Typed. There is a ticket for it, which is planned for Akka 2.6: akka/akka#26338

So my plan was to add it once 2.6 is out, but I’m not against adding the rest before that.

PubSub in Typed Akka will come later than 2.6.0: https://twitter.com/akkateam/status/1178244105647935488

We could still support cluster events and sharding in the meantime.

Great news! This issue is definitely doable now.

Hey @ghostdogpr. Any news about that?

[ghostdogpr]

@fancywriter I haven't got the time to work on this for now. If anyone is motivated, feel free to take it!

I may take it.

It took me a while, but I should publish the branch within a week.

I come back with some updates.
I tried my best to try to migrate PubSub to Akka typed.
Unfortunately, basing only on Typed API is not sufficient. I couldn't find a way to check if Subscription is Acked. It implies race condition in tests and real life scenarios. Also, a lot of features could be dropped (lack of grouping, inability to dynamically send messages to arbitrary topic).
The same relates to cluster.
I can push what I've done recently so we can discuss it.

What is the current status of the issue?

What is the current status of the issue?

As the original author of this library, I am not investing time on it anymore, focusing on Shardcake for clustering capabilities. I am happy to transfer ownership if someone is motivated to maintain it.

I am interested in this, but I need Pekko

I think you can fork and make a new repo.
