I am kind of awaiting some news about more breakthroughs in DWDM technology and clicked through thinking this might be related. All I could tell immediately was that it was code of some description. I really detest when higher level stuff steals terminology from lower level protocols. I feel like they could have found a better term than fiber.
- lock1 1y agoTo be fair, "fiber" is a pretty well known term in the context of concurrency. The post author did not make it up.
- Daneel_ 1y agoWhat an awful choice of terminology though - it’s almost designed to be confusing to anyone outside the space.
- lock1 1y agoMaybe, but "thread" is a widely accepted term even though it's closely related to "fiber" both in concurrency (coop/preempt multitask) and general day-to-day sense (textile).
