London Ruby User Group:Fibers in Ruby 1.9
Fibers in Ruby 1.9
Fibers are primitives for implementing light weight cooperative concurrency in Ruby.

Basically they are a means of creating code blocks that can be paused and resumed, much like threads. The main difference is that they are never preempted and that the scheduling must be done by the programmer and not the VM.

As opposed to other stackless light weight concurrency models, each fiber comes with a small 4KB stack. This enables the fiber to be paused from deeply nested function calls within the fiber block.

More details can be found here.

ABOUT THE LONDON RUBY USER GROUP
LRUG is the London Ruby User Group; a community of ruby developers based in and around London. We meet up at least once a month; on the 2nd Wednesday of the month we have meetings with talks, demos and such-like and then we have pub-based meetups organised on an ad-hoc basis (roughly half-way between meetings).
