Fiber

sealed abstract class Fiber[+E, +A]

A fiber is a lightweight thread of execution that never consumes more than a whole thread (but may consume much less, depending on contention and asynchronicity). Fibers are spawned by forking ZIO effects, which run concurrently with the parent effect.

Fibers can be joined, yielding their result to other fibers, or interrupted, which terminates the fiber, safely releasing all resources.

   fiber1 <- io1.fork
   fiber2 <- io2.fork

   b      <- fiber2.join
