Fibur is a gem that gives you full concurrency during your I/O calls in Ruby 1.9.

• So simple it can’t fail

This example shows how to wrap a method call with a Fibur.

require 'benchmark'
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
require 'fibur' # use the Fibur gem.

def network_read(uri)
  Net::HTTP.get_response uri
end

n = 100
uri = URI('http://google.com/')

Benchmark.bm(5) do |x|
  x.report('loop') { n.times { network_read(uri) } }
  x.report('fibur') {
    n.times.map {
      Fibur.new { network_read(uri) }
    }.map(&:join)
  }
end

• Only works on Ruby 1.9 or greater

• gem install fibur
