rbridge

by Toshiyuki Hirooka, Chuck Vose
== DESCRIPTION:
RBridge allows the use of Erlang code within a Ruby program. Optionally allowing
asynchronous access and ruby-like syntax or by using Erlang code directly when
more expressive or complex code is needed.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
* Allows use of Erlang code within Ruby
* Doesn't yet allow Ruby code within Erlang
== SYNOPSIS:
1. Start an instance of the rulang server by using bin/rulang
2. Execute your ruby code by connecting (as shown below) to either the RBridge class if you want
asynchronous access and ruby style code access, or by connecting to the Erlang
class if you need more complicated code evaluation.
# load the library
require 'rbridge'
# Connect to localhost on port 9900 and using only the erlang module。
r_erlang = RBridge.new("erlang", "localhost", 9900)
# This is equivalent to erlang:length([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]).
p r_erlang.length([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])
# => 9
# Run Erlang code directly
a = RBridge.new(nil, "localhost", 9900)
p a.erl("10*10.")
# => 100
== REQUIREMENTS:
* Erlang (erlang.org) -
There are current windows binaries as well as source for other oses. Installing
on OS X should just need: ./configure --prefix=/opt/local && make && sudo make install.
* Ruby (ruby-lang.org) -
On the downloads page if you skip past the source downloads there are a lot
of one-click installers for various oses. If you go with source you at least
need to install rubygems from rubygems.org.
== INSTALL:
* sudo gem install rbridge
== LICENSE:
RBridge - A Ruby to Erlang bridge allowing the use of Erlang commands within
normal Ruby code.
