   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!

     @daviwil fibers seem super neat! If anyone is interested in a coroutine event driven tool for Lua / Fennel check out cqueues.

     @daviwil did you find any solution for the sqlite-in-fibers?

     This kind of clips are really cool. You summarized everything pretty well!

     @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!

     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.
