ROMP is the Ruby Object Message Proxy. It is sort of like drb
(distributed Ruby) in that it allows a Ruby client program to
transparently talk to an object that is sitting on a server. Its
features include:
- Up to 40000 messages per second
- Allows more than one object to reside on the server; supports a sort
for naming service for retrieving references to objects.
- Fully thread-safe, provided the object sitting on the server is
thread-safe.
- Supports one-way calls, so the client does not have to block waiting
for a response from the server.
- Allows exceptions to be propagated from server to client; messages
the backtrace to make debugging easier.
