Bah, that example wasn't good either....


foo = DataFlow.new

bar = Thread.new(foo, "Monitor Thread") {|params| print params[1] + ":
" + params[0]}

sleep(3)

baz = Thread.new(foo, "Sleepy Thread") do |params|
print params[1] + ": Going to sleep."
sleep(3);
params[0] = "Hello World, sorry I'm late"
end

--output--
[3 second pause]
"Sleepy Thread: Going to sleep."
[3 second pause]
"Monitor Thread: Hello world, sorry I'm late"
