-Erlang, Clojure, and Go inspired concurrent programming tools for Ruby.
-
-## Introduction
-
-The old-school "lock and synchronize" approach to concurrency is dead. The future of concurrency
-is asynchronous. Send out a bunch of independent [actors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model)
-to do your bidding and process the results when you are ready. Although the idea of the concurrent
-actor originated in the early 1970's it has only recently started catching on. Although there is
-no one "true" actor implementation (what *exactly* is "object oriented," what *exactly* is
-"concurrent programming"), many modern programming languages implement variations on the actor
-theme. This library implements a few of the most interesting and useful of those variations.
-
-Remember, *there is no silver bullet in concurrent programming.* Concurrency is hard. Very hard.
-These tools will help ease the burden, but at the end of the day it is essential that you
-*know what you are doing.*
-
-The project is hosted on the following sites:
-
-* [RubyGems project page](https://rubygems.org/gems/concurrent-ruby)
-* [Source code on GitHub](https://github.com/jdantonio/concurrent-ruby)
-* [YARD documentation on RubyDoc.info](http://rubydoc.info/github/jdantonio/concurrent-ruby/frames)

-
-### Goals
-
-My history with high-performance, highly-concurrent programming goes back to my days with C/C++.
-I have the same scars as everyone else doing that kind of work with those languages.
-I'm fascinated by modern concurrency patterns like [Actors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model),
-[Agents](http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/java/agents.html), and
-[Promises](http://promises-aplus.github.io/promises-spec/). I'm equally fascinated by languages
-with strong concurrency support like [Erlang](http://www.erlang.org/doc/getting_started/conc_prog.html),
-[Go](http://golang.org/doc/articles/concurrency_patterns.html), and
-[Clojure](http://clojure.org/concurrent_programming). My goal is to implement those patterns in Ruby.
-Specifically:
-
-* Stay true to the spirit of the languages providing inspiration
-* But implement in a way that makes sense for Ruby
-* Keep the semantics as idiomatic Ruby as possible
-* Support features that make sense in Ruby
-* Exclude features that don't make sense in Ruby
-* Keep everything small
-* Be as fast as reasonably possible
-
-## Features (and Documentation)
-
-Several features from Erlang, Go, Clojure, Java, and JavaScript have been implemented thus far:
-
-* Clojure inspired [Agent](https://github.com/jdantonio/concurrent-ruby/blob/master/md/agent.md)
-* EventMachine inspired [Defer](https://github.com/jdantonio/concurrent-ruby/blob/master/md/defer.md)
-* Clojure inspired [Future](https://github.com/jdantonio/concurrent-ruby/blob/master/md/future.md)
-* Go inspired [Goroutine](https://github.com/jdantonio/concurrent-ruby/blob/master/md/goroutine.md)
-* JavaScript inspired [Promise](https://github.com/jdantonio/concurrent-ruby/blob/master/md/promise.md)
-* Java inspired [Thread Pools](https://github.com/jdantonio/concurrent-ruby/blob/master/md/thread_pool.md)
-* Scheduled task execution with the [Executor](https://github.com/jdantonio/concurrent-ruby/blob/master/md/executor.md) service
-
-### Is it any good?
-
-[Yes](http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3067434)
-
-### Supported Ruby versions
-
-MRI 1.9.2, 1.9.3, and 2.0. This library is pure Ruby and has minimal gem dependencies. It should be
-fully compatible with any Ruby interpreter that is 1.9.x compliant. I simply don't know enough
-about JRuby, Rubinius, or the others to fully support them. I can promise good karma and
-attribution on this page to anyone wishing to take responsibility for verifying compaitibility
-with any Ruby other than MRI.
-
-### Install
-
-```shell
-gem install concurrent-ruby
-```
-
-or add the following line to Gemfile:
-
-```ruby
-gem 'concurrent-ruby'
-```
-
-and run `bundle install` from your shell.
-
-Once you've installed the gem you must `require` it in your project:
-
-```ruby
-require 'concurrent'
-```
-
-### Kernel Methods
-
-Many Ruby developers consider it bad form to add function to the global (Kernel) namespace.
-I don't necessarily agree. If the function acts like a low-level feature of the language
-I think it is OK to add the method to the `Kernel` module. To support my personal programming
-style I have chosen to implement `Kernel` methods to instance many of the objects in this
-library. Out of respect for the larger Ruby community I have made these methods optional.
-They are not imported with the normal `require 'concurrent'` directive. To import these
-functions you must import the `concurrent/functions` library.
-
-```ruby
-require 'concurrent'
-score = agent(10) #=> NoMethodError: undefined method `agent' for main:Object
-
-require 'concurrent/functions'
-score = agent(10) #=> #<Concurrent::Agent:0x35b2b28 ...
-score.value #=> 10
-```
-
-### Examples
-
-For complete examples, see the specific documentation linked above. Below are a few examples to whet your appetite.
-
-#### Goroutine (Go)
-
-```ruby
-require 'concurrent'
-
-@expected = nil
-go(1, 2, 3){|a, b, c| @expected = [c, b, a] }
-sleep(0.1)
-@expected #=> [3, 2, 1]
-```
-
-#### Agent (Clojure)
-
-```ruby
-require 'concurrent'
-require 'concurrent/functions'
-
-score = agent(10)
-score.value #=> 10
-
-score << proc{|current| current + 100 }
-sleep(0.1)
-score.value #=> 110
-
-score << proc{|current| current * 2 }
-sleep(0.1)
-deref score #=> 220
-
-score << proc{|current| current - 50 }
-sleep(0.1)
-score.value #=> 170
-```
-
-#### Defer (EventMachine)
-
-```ruby
-require 'concurrent'
-require 'concurrent/functions'
-
-Concurrent::Defer.new{ "Jerry D'Antonio" }.
-                  then{|result| puts "Hello, #{result}!" }.
-                  rescue{|ex| puts ex.message }.
-                  go
-
-#=> Hello, Jerry D'Antonio!
-
-operation = proc{ raise StandardError.new('Boom!') }
-callback  = proc{|result| puts result }
-errorback = proc{|ex| puts ex.message }
-defer(operation, callback, errorback)
-sleep(0.1)
-
-#=> "Boom!"
-```
-
-#### Future (Clojure)
-
-```ruby
-require 'concurrent'
-require 'concurrent/functions'
-
-count = future{ sleep(1); 10 }
-count.state #=> :pending
-# do stuff...
-count.value #=> 10 (after blocking)
-deref count #=> 10
-```
-
-#### Promise (JavaScript)
-
-```ruby
-require 'concurrent'
-require 'concurrent/functions'
-
-p = promise("Jerry", "D'Antonio"){|a, b| "#{a} #{b}" }.
-    then{|result| "Hello #{result}." }.
-    rescue(StandardError){|ex| puts "Boom!" }.
-    then{|result| "#{result} Would you like to play a game?"}
-sleep(1)
-p.value #=> "Hello Jerry D'Antonio. Would you like to play a game?" 
-```
-
-#### Thread Pools
-
-```ruby
-require 'concurrent'
-
-pool = Concurrent::FixedThreadPool.new(10)
-@expected = 0
-pool.post{ sleep(0.5); @expected += 100 }
-pool.post{ sleep(0.5); @expected += 100 }
-pool.post{ sleep(0.5); @expected += 100 }
-@expected #=> nil
-sleep(1)
-@expected #=> 300
-
-pool = Concurrent::CachedThreadPool.new
-@expected = 0
-pool << proc{ sleep(0.5); @expected += 10 }
-pool << proc{ sleep(0.5); @expected += 10 }
-pool << proc{ sleep(0.5); @expected += 10 }
-@expected #=> 0
-sleep(1)
-@expected #=> 30
-```
-
-#### Executor
-
-```ruby
-require 'concurrent'
-
-ec = Concurrent::Executor.run('Foo'){ puts 'Boom!' }
-
-ec.name               #=> "Foo"
-ec.execution_interval #=> 60 == Concurrent::Executor::EXECUTION_INTERVAL
-ec.timeout_interval   #=> 30 == Concurrent::Executor::TIMEOUT_INTERVAL
-ec.status             #=> "sleep"
-
-# wait 60 seconds...
-#=> 'Boom!'
-#=> ' INFO (2013-08-02 23:20:15) Foo: execution completed successfully'
-
-ec.kill #=> true
-```
