Ruby and Erlang can play nice together

Erlang Inside - Chad DePue - August 07, 2008

InfoQ has a good article on Ruby and Erlang interaction. EngineYard, the most visible and successful rails-focused host, is using erlang in Vertebra, their cloud computing platform. Which, as we’ll cover in a separate post, is an incredibly powerful statement for the growing place for Erlang in cloud computing.

Erlectricity is a ruby gem that allows for erlang/ruby connectivity using Erlang ports and a lot of ruby blocks.

Erlang supports JSON (in at least three publically available libraries as discussed here), as does Ruby through the json gem.
