The premise of this exercise is contained in Daniel Himelein's quote:
"The first thing I always do when playing around with a new software platform is to write a concurrent "Hello World" program. The program works as follows: One active entity (e.g. thread, Erlang process, Goroutine) has to print "Hello " and another one "World!\n" with the two active entities synchronizing with each other so that the output always is "Hello World!\n". Here is the concurrent Hello World program in Go, Erlang and in C++ using the Mindroid framework."
Here is a Hello World example in Ruby/Celluloid. Five, actually.
