markharoldr

Hello everyone,

Can someone explain me the use of Fiber class provided in the API?
Can you give me an instance where it is very useful and needed?

Thanks,

fibers are usefull if you need to do async tasks.

Fibers are used to exchange messages between otherwise independent entities. A peer could do most work independently from another or a room. To "connect" them in an efficient way, we use messages and fibers.
The establish a thread context (my words for it) and are operated by the thread pool. This is an efficient way to do independent tasks (if any) in parallel.

I think it's help you understand Fibers and Channels more deeper.
