Understanding Fibers: A Comparison to Promises and Effects
Can
't understand this
https://www.effect.website/docs/concurrency/fibers#when-do-fibers-run
.
Is my understanding correct
: Fiber is an analogue of a Promise
, first all the usual effects are executed
(analogous to tasks
)
, then microtasks are executed and
yield* _(Effect.yieldNow())
yield* _(Effect.yieldNow())
- analogous to
await
await
