With Ruby 1.9 adding Fibers (Coroutines) and the recent popularity of Erlang and Actors, a group of little known concepts entered the Ruby programming world. To get an overview of what's available in the Ruby space when it comes to concurrency, we talked to long-time Ruby community member MenTaLguY. He's been involved in Ruby concurrency and threading for a long time, such as with the fastthread library which improves threading with 1.8.x MRI. Recently he's been dabbling in Rubinius and is also a member of the JRuby team.
