Concurrent Ruby VS render_async

Compare Concurrent Ruby vs render_async and see what are their differences.

Concurrent Ruby

Modern concurrency tools including agents, futures, promises, thread pools, supervisors, and more. Inspired by Erlang, Clojure, Scala, Go, Java, JavaScript, and classic concurrency patterns. (by ruby-concurrency)

  • Exploring concurrent rate limiters, mutexes, semaphores
    2 projects | dev.to | 11 Sep 2023
    After this, I took a look at the semaphore class in the popular library, concurrent-ruby to see how they implement it, and I learnt about something new: condition variables. And Ruby comes with this included!
  • Using Concurrent::Promise while rescuing exceptions in Ruby
    2 projects | dev.to | 12 Aug 2022
    As I could not find a clear example about how to rescue exceptions from Concurrent::Promises (part of the Concurrent Ruby gem ) I read through the documentation and here are two examples: one that documents success case and one that shows what is happening when there is an error.
  • Ask HN: Any efforts to remove the GIL for Ruby?
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Jun 2022
    In a sense the GIL (or actually GVL as it's called in current ruby versions) has already been removed for ruby.

    It's only the original MRI Ruby that still has it several over Ruby implementations already removed it. e.g. JRuby.

    Concurrent-Ruby[1] is probably a good place to start if you want to work with GVL free ruby on JRuby. It's quite well supported and is currently used by Rails.

    If you just want async or non-blocking IO I'd take a look at the Async Gem[2]. It looks pretty solid in Ruby > 3.0 and it's been invited by Matz to be part of the stdlib, which I think is a pretty good endorsement.

    For MRI itself I don't think it's likely they'll ever remove the GVL. Ractors are probably a better solution for CPU concurrency in the long run, although I think they're pretty experimental currently.

  • Ruby 3.1.0 Released

    I’d highly recommend the concurrent-ruby gem that has implementations of various metaphors of concurrency, from async to promises, as well as edge features such as actors.
  • The right way of parallelizing tasks in a Rails application
    2 projects | /r/rails | 19 Apr 2021
    yes, but `Future` is being deprecated according to the docs. This syntax should possible with Promises (although on my library, it is not working as I expected, I need to look into it hahaha)

  • What is the current state of event driven programming with fibers in ruby?
    10 projects | /r/ruby | 22 Feb 2021
    https://github.com/ruby-concurrency/concurrent-ruby seems to be the current king of concurrency in Ruby. A lot of different concurrency models are implemented so you can pick whichever makes the most sense for you. The downside is that since the library doesn't focus on one model over another, it's probably difficult to learn for beginners.
