Understanding Generators, Coroutines, and Fibers Across Different Languages

Generators, coroutines, and fibers are programming constructs that enable more efficient and manageable asynchronous code. Though they share some conceptual similarities, each has unique characteristics and implementations in different languages. This article explores these constructs and their implementations in JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Ruby.

Generators

Generators are special functions that allow you to pause execution and resume it later. They provide a way to iterate through a sequence of values over time, rather than computing them all at once and …
