fairy is a framework for distributed processing in Ruby.
It has flexible programming model and inherits Ruby’s high
productivity and simplicity.

fairy’s API is quite similar to Ruby. Therefore most Rubyists can
easily understand and use it.
Although fairy is still experimental, its basic function works well.

Have fun!
