Description:
In her talk she will explore several ways to implement the actor model in Ruby. The talk will also allude to the fact that threads in Ruby should ideally have separate state, so that all programs using threads could also use the actor model (or other similar concurrency models).

Concurrency is not just a hot topic these days, it's a requirement. I like how she addressed Ruby's lack of thread-safety which accounts for it not being able to implement a true concurrency model. Her examples are pretty good and they allude to the topic at hand.
