…not http/2 fault, but rather ruby for not having a better concurrency story, like say golang. [0]: https://github.com/socketry/async [1]: https://github.com/socketry/falcon

https://github.com/socketry/async uses coroutines and I think in general it’s been a great model with very few downsides in practice.
comment by ioquatix · 2023-09-02 · in Philosophy of Coroutines -
Ruby is really good at concurrency now with non-blocking fibers. https://github.com/socketry/async makes it really easy to use.

It's adopted by Ruby: < https://github.com/socketry/io-event > which is used by < https://github.com/socketry/async > which is part of the Ruby 3+ Fiber Scheduler for light weight concurrency. It shows promising performance.

i think this announcement https://brunosutic.com/blog/async-ruby & the associated async libraries ( https://github.com/socketry/async ) do a much better job of showing off the potential for the ruby 3.1+ fiber scheduler. Async gem is…

…lazy iteration. Recent efforts have built on fibers to provide concurrency with non-blocking I/O: https://github.com/socketry/async https://github.com/digital-fabric/polyphony Disclaimer: I'm the author of Polyphony.
comment by ciconia · 2021-06-18 · in A Foray for Fun into Windows Fibers -
Ruby does via libraries ( https://github.com/socketry/async for instance). Which is my point. Pick a language that makes it easy. Even then, it's a bit misleading; make it so concurrency, in general, is easy and efficient. Async is…

I wrote a full stack implementation for Ruby: https://github.com/socketry/async Come and chat here: https://gitter.im/socketry/async TruffleRuby folks are trying to support us using native fibers in the JVM, but I'm not sure when that will…

I love stuff like this thanks. It's really interesting to see that Falcon is based on the https://github.com/socketry/async library. I've previously been looking at https://github.com/ruby-concurrency/concurrent-ruby based on its use in…

…rocha/async/blob/2edef4d6990259cc60cc30... I implemented almost exactly the same model for Ruby here: https://github.com/socketry/async and if you are interested in how it works, see these projects which build on it:…
