The +original version of this module targeted nodejs v0.1.x in early 2011 when JavaScript on the server +looked a lot different. Since then +[async/await](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function), +[Promises](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise), +and +[Generators](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Generator) +were standardized and the ecosystem as a whole has moved in that direction. + +I'll continue to support newer versions of nodejs as long as possible but v8 and nodejs are +extraordinarily complex and dynamic platforms. It is inevitable that one day this library will +abruptly stop working and no one will be able to do anything about it. + +I'd like to say thank you to all the users of fibers, your support over the years has meant a lot to +me. + fibers(1) -- Fiber support for v8 and Node ========================================== [![npm version](https://badgen.now.sh/npm/v/fibers)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/fibers)
