I’ve been trying to find out some info on Ruby’s “Rinda”. I’m familar
with
DRb, but not Rinda/Linda.
All the materials I can find on the web seem to say something along the
lines of: “Rinda is just like Java’s Linda, but for Ruby”. But not being
a
Java-head, I don’t know anything about Linda. Or they say: “it’s a
blackboard where you store and retrieve tuples”, without any details
about
the semantics of these store and retrieve operations.
What I’m looking for is an overview including:
what the data model looks like
what basic operations the client can request
what the semantics are of these operations
Does anyone know of any documentation at this level?
I have a vague inkling of what a “tuple” is, but I certainly don’t know
what
a “port” is in this context.
As a secondary question: does anyone know of any cross-platform
tuplespace
systems which could be shared between, say, Ruby and Perl? (I realise I
could stick a SOAP facade onto a Rinda TupleSpace, but perhaps there’s a
better way)

There are some simple examples in the great book “Ruby Cookbook”, by
Lucas
Carlson and Leonard Richardson (the part about drb and rinda is actually
written by James Edward G. II).
At the end of the articles, there are pointers to online documentation
that
may interest you :
