Despite using ruby, I was immensely disappointed this article wasn't about materials science. Misleading title, guys

#4Disappointed that this is about ruby something or other, and not about homebrew kodachrome.

#5I must be the only person who thought this was about the gem using Actor pattern. Great write-up. I really appreciated it as concurrency was something I've been looking into and was about to start toying with the Celluloid gem. This was a really good, clear example with useful code. Thanks!
Of course, adding the word "gem" to the title might indeed help. Now, an article on creating the material celluloid would indeed be awesome... volunteers?

Those links are far more fascinating than "yet another ruby lib". I too was hoping the original submission was about homebrew film or plastic. The earliest plastic goods were made from celluloid.

#7Sorry, didn't realize "celluloid" meant something else. Changed the title.

When I saw the title, my first thought was "Some poor soul is nitrating cellulose at home, and the BATF is staging a raid of their 'bomb factory' right now".

I'm really glad to see more folks discussing Celluloid and actor-model based concurrency in Ruby, too!
If you liked this article, you may also enjoy "A gentle introduction to actor-based concurrency"(*), which shows how to solve the dining philosopher's problem using Ruby threading primitives, celluloid, and a made-from-scratch actor model similar to what is shown in this article:
