The fiber scheduler solves this as concurrent execution is now built into the core of Ruby 3.

Do you think it's perhaps confusing to call it async ruby? I was sure it works similar to node's async event loop but actually the fiber / fiber scheduler thing is more related to threads and doesn't use an event loop (?). It doesn't really matter I guess but the terminology "async" is kinda used in javascript land to mean event loop and afaik that's not what you're working on here right?
