🔌 Integrating Fibers with the Async Gem for Task Coordination​

Combine Fiber with the async gem’s reactor to orchestrate low‑latency tasks. You can map Fibers onto Async::Tasks, leverage Async::Semaphore for backpressure, and drop into fiber contexts for fine‑grained control when needed.

require 'async'
require 'async/semaphore'

Async do |task|
semaphore = Async::Semaphore.new(10)

100.times do |i|
semaphore.async do
# This block runs inside a Fiber under the Async reactor
data = Fiber.current.yield(:waiting)
puts "Processed #{i} with data: #{data}"
end
end
end

In this setup, each semaphore.async spawns a Fiber‑backed task, and you can manually yield or resume via Fiber.current for custom signaling and error propagation.
