I recently had the need to build an internal system that distributed workloads across many workers via a client/server model. I did the proof-of-concept using druby [1] and it turned out to be so simple and stable that we just ran with it. It'd been years since I had used that library and instinctively I assumed we'd get the prototype out and then rebuild it using some sort of web service and utilize a high concurrency web server but druby just worked!

drb is awesome. I've had the good fortune to be able to use it once. The simplicity of it compared to anything else is amazing.
