From: Tony Arcieri Date: 2011-06-18T05:21:48+09:00 Subject: [ANN] celluloid 0.0.3: a concurrent object framework for Ruby --bcaec53fedc37c64a704a5ee2229 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Celluloid is a concurrent object framework for Ruby inspired by Erlang and the Actor Model: * Github: http://github.com/tarcieri/celluloid * RDoc: http://celluloid.github.com/ Celluloid provides thread-backed objects that run concurrently, allowing the familiarity of plain old Ruby objects for the most common use cases, but also the ability to call methods asynchronously. Asynchronous method calls allow the receiver to do things in the background while the caller carries on with its business.
