 Workers is a Ruby gem for performing work in background threads.
 Design goals include high performance, low latency, simple API, customizability, and multi-layered architecture.
-The main features include workers, timers, and actors.
+It is used by [Tribe](https://github.com/chadrem/tribe "Tribe") to implement event-driven actors.

-## Actors
-
-Actors are light weight concurrent objects that use asynchronous message passing to communicate with each other.
-They are event driven and use a worker pool in order to execute their event loop.

-    end
-    
-    # Send an event to each actors.  Find each actor using the registry.
-    100.times do |i|
-      actor = Workers.registry["my_actor_#{i}"]
-      actor.enqueue(:my_custom, 'hello world')
-    end

-      actor = Workers.registry["my_actor_#{i}"]
-      actor.enqueue(:shutdown)
-    end

-### Implementation notes
-Because actors use a shared worker pool, it is important that they don't block for long periods of time.
-If you need an actor that can block for long periods then you should give the actor a dedicated thread (:dedicated => true).
-
-## Registries
-
-Registries hold references to named actors.
-In general you shouldn't have to create your own since there is a global one (Workers.registry).
