From: Tony Arcieri Date: 2011-09-29T00:52:42+09:00 Subject: [ANN] celluloid 0.2.2: the first truly Ruby-like Actor library with Erlang awesomesauce --0015175d04469471f204ae0261b8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Celluloid is an Actor library for Ruby inspired by Erlang: - Github: http://github.com/tarcieri/celluloid - RDoc: http://celluloid.github.com/ Celluloid wraps objects in threads, allowing them to run concurrently, while still letting you talk to them using standard Ruby method call conventions. It also enables asynchronous method calls which tell a method to do something in the background, and futures, which let you request a method be executed then check back later for the result. I just published a blog post detailing a lot more about how Celluloid works if you're interested in finding out more: http://www.unlimitednovelty.com/2011/09/object-oriented-concurrency-deep-dive.html -- The 0.2.2 release mainly focuses on bugfixes and responding to feedback about difficulties in debugging Celluloid-based programs. 0.2.2 contains several enhancements to the log output Celluloid gives whenever actors crash or various other errors have occurred. If you've been having difficulty with actors crashing without giving you any idea why, give Celluloid 0.2.2 a try. Here's the full changelog: - Log failed async calls instead of just letting them fail silently - Properly handle arity of synchronous calls - Actors can now make async calls to themselves - Resolve crashes that occur when sending responses to exited/dead callers - AbortErrors now reraise in caller scope and provide a caller-focused backtrace -- Tony Arcieri --0015175d04469471f204ae0261b8--
