Hi, I wonder how is it possible to do execute callbacks in a non-blocking manner (asynchronously) *cheaply*?
So something like this: non_blocking(arguments) do |result| # Do something with the result end Calling `request_something` should not block, but rather continue execution. The easiest way is probably using Fibers. But Fibers are not cheap and depend on the platform. For example, JRuby uses Threads, so it is pretty expensive. 1.8 doesn't have Fibers at all AFAIK. What are the other Nodejs-ish alternatives for that? Cheers, Dima http://www.ApproachE.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
