Concurrent programming in Ruby

[kimburgess]

Mentioned briefly on the Slack channel, but popping it here for all to see...

Happy to pop together a gentle introduction to concurrency models, parallelism and writing code that does many things at once.

If there's particular areas or concepts that anyone is particularly shading on or interested in, I'd love to hear about it in the comment below. Will try to keep limited to things that you can do today, but may briefly introduce Ruby 3 Guilds which can be a future talk in itself :)

anything ruby 3 sounds great. We handle much of the cuncurrency via sidekiq (so, we don't do it ourselves), but I've spawn up some thread at times for scripting work, so I'd surely enjoy the talk.

Glad it sounds interesting!

I presented this at BrisRuby a little while back. Unfortunately I can't recall if it was recorded, but my (very sparse) slides and notes are here in case they're of use / interest: https://slides.com/kimburgess/concurrent-ruby.
