ichannel is a channel for interprocess communication between ruby
processes on the same machine or network. The basic premise is that
you can “put” a ruby object onto the channel and on the other end(maybe
in a different process, or maybe on a different machine) you can “get”
the object from the channel.
The new version(v6.1.1.1) adds redis as a backend for transport(in
addition to a streamed unix socket). Development happens at
https://github.com/robgleeson/ichannel and it is also available as a
gem.
