Can anyone tell me the difference between Distributed ruby and rinda?

Francis said:If you're interested in Erlang-like "spawned processes" for Ruby, they were
just added to EventMachine. Sync to the head revision and look at the test
cases. As soon as they get a few more features and documentation, they'll be
released. There's also some recent discussion of them on the EventMachine
mailing list.
Francis said:The most interesting feature (being able to send messages to "spawned
processes" that are resident in other O/S processes or on other machines)
isn't done yet. I'm not that thrilled with how Erlang does it, by the way
(IP addresses and ranges of well-known ports) but I haven't thought of
anything better.
Presenting this somewhere would be fun... ;-)
Francis said:Oh it'll be TCP, all right. I was just thinking of the way that Erlang uses
to specify PIDs, with strings containing embedded machine identifiers. But
we know that the Erlang way works, because Ericsson supposedly has
distributed applications with literally millions of distributed processes.
