Mikka

Mikka is a thin Ruby wrapper around Akka. It makes Akka's Java API more pleasing to the Rubyist's eye.

Work in progress

Mikka is a work in progress, but currently used in production. It currently mostly scratches my own itchs, but improvement suggestions and patches are welcome.

Check out the examples directory for the basics. Start with the hello_world.rb example, it is extensively documented and goes through the basics.

If you make something that can serve as a useful illustration of some concept, please contribute by sending a patch.

Requirements

Only tested in JRuby 1.6.3 and Ruby 1.9 mode (add jruby --1.9 or set JRUBY_OPTS='--1.9).

The required Akka and Scala JARs are loaded from the akka-actor-jars and scala-library-jars wrapper gems.

Installation

gem install mikka
