What kind of software actually requires this? Honest question. Anything I can think of would probably be written by C++ devs

although this is a deliberate choice rather than some accidental defect. Clojure went with STM as its concurrency model, if you're not buying into that and you want an Actor-centric language it's not the right choice to begin with.
