Inter-Process Communication With IChannel

If you fork a Ruby subprocess, getting its results back in the parent can be a little tricky. The child process can’t pass variables back to the parent, so you have to manually manage an IO pipe. Fortunately, Rob Gleeson’s IChannel gem provides a friendly wrapper for this messiness. It can serialize with the Marshal, JSON, or YAML libraries out of the box, and it’s easy to add new serializers.
