Classes

Async::Q

A drop-in replacement for Async::Queue and Async::LimitedQueue. Can work as limited or unlimited queue depending on initializer arguments. Supports mode switching and scaling in both directions.

Async::Channel

A thin wrapper around Async::Q that acts like a Go channel. Can be user for delivering messages and exceptions(using #error method). Exceptions are being reraised in #dequeue, #each and #async. Can be closed. After being closed automatically stops accepting new messages and schedules graceful stop of all consumers. Awaiing #each or #async will return, #dequeue will raise ChannelClosedError. In compare to Async::Queue, Async::LimitedQueue and Async:Q, Async::Channel can send nil's.

Async::WorkerPool

A thin wrapper around Async::Channel and Async::Semaphore. WorkerPool can be used to perform concurrent actions with limited strictly limited concurrency.

Development
