Rails 4 will establish a new background job queueing API
A feature that may very well make me finally jump over to RoR. I've recently built quite a large site, and the only current bottle neck is when a few emails need to be sent off at the same time with attachments, and to be able to add that into a "que" and let the user continue browsing the site instead of stuck on a loading page (if only for a few seconds) would make the current set up ideal.Incidentally - if any one has any way of doing this in PHP without having to setup cron jobs (and not using node or its derivatives), I'm really open to any ideas!
