Please link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_(computer_science) for many people like me.

That doesn't explain much :)

To me the only thing that made any sense (given I had a tiny bit of experience using Kotlin coroutines & Java threads) was the reference to coroutines.

What is your suggestion? What should be explained or linked?

oprypkhantc commented 3 years ago

Well.. the whole thing needs a proper documentation (like every other amphp project has) if it's intended for a general public use.

This extension is still under development. The API is not set. We will add documentation and definitions at a later time.
