[ANN] Pure: Language-level support for automatic parallelism

= Pure

== Summary

Language-level support for automatic parallelism and lazy evaluation.

== Synopsis

require ‘pure’

geometry = Pure.define do
def area(width, height)
width*height
end

def width(border)
  7 + border
end

def height(border)
  5 + border
end

def border
  2
end

end

Compute the area using 3 parallel threads.

puts geometry.compute(3).area

=> 63

We’ve done this computation.

puts((7 + 2)*(5 + 2))

=> 63

== Install

% gem install pure

Or for the (non-gem) .tgz package,

% ruby install.rb [–uninstall]

== Description

Pure imports aspects of the pure functional paradigm into Ruby.

Method and argument names have literal meaning within a Pure.define
block. In the above example, the width argument to area
corresponds, by its literal name, to the width method.
