Performer

“em install performer

“

Performer is a tiny gem for scheduling blocks in a background thread, and optionally waiting for the return value.

Usage

“uby performer = Performer.new

result = performer.sync { 2 + 1 } result # => 3

future = performer.async { 2 + 1 } future.value # => 3

future = performer.shutdown do puts “Performer has been properly shutdown.” end

future.value # wait for shutdown

“
