46. Dynamic Variables • Come from Lisp • Thread-local • Dynamic binding (runtime call stack) • Used for things like stdio • Like global variables, but way better
50. Actors & Futures
51. Actors & Futures • Built-in support for async & future sends • Multiple implementations, thinking about using Celluloid as default implementation • Currently using Rubinius’ Actor library • rubinius-actor gem
55. Actors & Futures • @ / @@ syntax compiled into: • Object#send_future:with_params: • Object#send_async:with_params:
56. Rubinius & Ruby Interop
