stepladder

Stepladder grew out of experimentation with Ruby fibers, after readings Dave Thomas' demo of Ruby fibers, wherein he created a pipeline of fiber processes, emulating the style and syntax of the *nix command line. I noticed that, courtesy of fibers' extremely low surface area, fiber-to-fiber collaborators could operate with extremely low coupling. That was the original motivation for creating the framework.
