I see ActorCore as picking up on PartyKits vision where they left off after acquisition by Cloudflare. Here's a few of the few things we've added to ActorCore:
- Full TypeScript type safety for calling actions on actors – PartyKit provides raw WebSocket messages instead
- Streamlined state persistence – PartyKit requires using low-level storage calls for persistence
- Flexible scheduling API – PartyKit exposes the single alarm from Cloudflare instead
- Simpler "functional" API – you might prefer PartyKit if you prefer using ES6 classes
- Upcoming SQLite features & deep integrations for features like auth & local-first sync will make it easier to ship quickly
- Not vendor-locked to Cloudflare
PartyKit already has a few integrations that is on our roadmap, such as Yjs

Curious to hear your experience using both.
