All the implementations I looked at were either buggy or wasted CPU resources for no apparent reason, for example used a sleep of 0.01 seconds to then check for readiness and stuff like this.
This implementation uses standard locking functions to work properly across multiple Ruby implementations.
require 'threadpool'
pool = ThreadPool.new(4)
0.upto(10) { pool.process { sleep 2; puts 'lol' } }
gets # otherwise the program ends without the pool doing anything
You should get 4 lols every 2 seconds.
