Ruby Channel - The power of Go Channels in Ruby

This is a simple library aimed to use channels in Ruby the same concept that channels in Google’s Go.

Install

gem install ruby_channel

Usage

This is the simplest example:

include RubyChannel

chan = Channel.new
chan << 'data'
chan.pop # => 'data'

Now something more interesting:

include RubyChannel
chan = [Channel.new, Channel.new]

Thread.new{ chan[rand 2] << 'where data goes?' }

select_channel do |s|
  s.listen(chan[0]){ |data| puts data; puts 'On channel zero!' }
  s.listen(chan[1]){ |data| puts data; puts 'On channel one!' }
end
