Ruby on Ice
No, this isn’t some horrid nightmare of an ice-skating competition involving coked-up super-models, it’s some spiffy new technology. Today, I got in my email, an announcement that ZeroC has released a beta version of their Internet Communication Engine with bindings for Ruby. I have written about Ice before, and I’ve used it to build some prototype applications using Python and some C++ (ick).
This is very nice, and I am very excited to try and see how it works. My concern is how it interacts with threading, since Ice has traditionally been very threading-dependent. It seems from first glance, that the Ruby bindings can only be used to build client-side applications, not the server component. This is likely the reason.
