What's the difference between ActorRef.cast and ActorRef.send_message?

[phil-skillwon]

like this:
actor.cast(MyMsg { inner: "123456".to_owned() })?;
actor.send_message(MyMsg { inner: "7654321...".to_owned() })?;

There's no difference really. Cast is an alias of send_message.

The reason it exists as cast is to match Erlang OTP syntax.
