# To Send or To Call? Advantages of send: - original recipient needs not be the one to respond, can forward message to another handler and this is transparent - lower overhead when requester is not the one needing an answer - call is 3x as slow as send, even though it's just 2 ways Advantages of Call: - automatic acknowledgement of the message having been handled - no need to do connection tracking manually - disadvantage: how to implement await! with timeout?
