Rails is a Follower
summary
dRuby implements a distributed object system in pure Ruby (part of stdlib) that sends references when Marshal fails, turns undumpable values into proxy objects, and uses threads on the server to avoid deadlock when callbacks cross processes. Demos show remote IO, a blocking distributed queue, and a reload-on-demand for unknown classes; real users at scale include batch-processing and monitoring tools and integrations with rinda. drbssl/SSH gateways exist; behavior is by-reference, not remote-code execution.
