Föderation EN Di 14.01.2025 05:51:31 In a recent stream, I started using the Fibers library for Guile Scheme to learn more about how it enables Go-style concurrency in Scheme programs. Here's a clip from that stream where I explain what Fibers is for, read through an example snippet using channels, and set up a basic HTTP request handler that uses Fibers' own server backend. Let me know what you think about the clip format! |

Föderation EN Di 14.01.2025 06:42:10 @daviwil fibers seem super neat! If anyone is interested in a coroutine event driven tool for Lua / Fennel check out cqueues. |

Föderation EN Di 14.01.2025 14:53:42 @daviwil did you find any solution for the sqlite-in-fibers? This kind of clips are really cool. You summarized everything pretty well! |

Föderation EN Di 14.01.2025 15:28:16 @ekaitz_zarraga Thanks! The suggestion from @cbaines was to run the DB operations in a separate OS thread and use Fibers to queue up query operations via a channel. Could work, but could also be a bottleneck. Interesting idea to try, though! |

Föderation EN Di 14.01.2025 15:51:15 @daviwil @ekaitz_zarraga this is what I've done for several Guile+Fibers+SQLite projects over the last few years. The key point is to allow the Fibers thread(s) to keep working while the database operations happen, which could include blocking I/O. This all started with the Guix Build Coordinator, but the nar-herder has a slightly more readable implementation. |

Föderation EN Di 14.01.2025 22:23:03 I just got a proof-of-concept going for using Fibers in Guile-Hoot. The clever piece is code by #spritely which allows for asynchronous messaging. https://git.sr.ht/~afmoreno/tic-tac-toe Ping me if you have any questions |
