Why Fibers Make Sense For Meteor

Explore the benefits of using coroutines (Fibers) in Meteor applications through this 41-minute conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2015. Discover how Software Engineer Ben Newman from Meteor Development Group explains the unusual choice of implementing Fibers to create high-performing JavaScript apps with less code and more approachable APIs. Learn about the advantages of using apparently synchronous APIs for database access and other operations, and understand how this approach contributes to Meteor's goal of simplifying app development. Gain insights into the technical decisions behind Meteor's framework design and how it impacts developer productivity and application performance.
