Two libraries for actor-based concurrency (one of them mine) have been linked, but those aren't really anything like java.util.concurrent. Are you wanting a small framework for backgrounding work into "thread" pools? (which would more likely be implemented as process pools) Ruby's threads provide only sequential execution, since Ruby's memory model is inherently sequential. For concurrent processing it's best to farm things off to additional processes so that the OS's scheduler can make them concurrent. There are packages to do this as well (e.g. BackgroundDRb) -- Tony Arcieri medioh.com --0016e64346120f9a7b0468783860--
