Experiment building a queue manager using Ractor

This is an example of a Sidekiq-like job system implemented for study using the new parallel approach introduced in Ruby 3 called Ractor.

Dependencies are:

• I'm using the version ruby 3.0.0-dev 0ac185be40.
• The project connects to a Redis server. Check out the file redis_conn.rb for configuration.

Here is the procedure to run:

• Run the loop: ruby loop.rb.
• Enqueue some jobs by executing: ruby enqueuer.rb.

Check out this blog post with more information about how Ractor is being used here.
