Hello, some feedback from my experiments, in case that's useful to anyone: I wanted to see if I could use IronRuby to create Resque workers, and the answer looks like yes.
Resque is a nice ruby/Redis-based message queue (introduction here: http://github.com/blog/542-introducing-resque). It comes with a Sinatra based UI (http://github.com/blog/543-new-resque-web-ui). I'm using Resque to push XML messages from a Rails internet-based back-end to IronRuby workers (that will do Excel spreadsheets generation amongst other things). To get this to work, use the edge version of Resque (not the gem 1.3.1), and tweak IronRuby to tell it doesn't support Kernel.fork ( http://gist.github.com/286052). hth, cheers, -- Thibaut
