I mean sure but one could also argue that VB6 can do the same analogue of Java so long as ASP is involved... And yes I've seen it done; you have a basic interface similar to an actor, but really more like a 'Take a key-value in for input, do processing on it, return a key-value to go to the next stage' and then the other necessary glue to handle that. The way the glue worked, it was minimal ceremony to get a new module in.
NGL It was clever enough that every few years I think about trying to redo the concept in another language....
