Could someone please give some references to thorough explainings
on these latest concurrency mechanisms
- Go: Goroutines
- Coroutines (Boost):
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroutine
-
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/coroutine/doc/html/coroutine/intro.html
- D: core.thread.Fiber:
http://dlang.org/library/core/thread/Fiber.html
- D: vibe.d
and how they relate to the following questions:
1. Is D's Fiber the same as a coroutine? If not, how do they
differ?
2. Typical usecases when Fibers are superior to
threads/coroutines?
3. What mechanism does/should D's builtin Threadpool ideally use
to package and manage computations?
4. I've read that vibe.d's has a more lightweight mechanism than
what core.thread.Fiber provides. Could someone explain to me the
difference? When will this be introduced and will this be a
breaking change?
5. And finally how does data sharing/immutability relate to the
above questions?
