Brandon Dail - Algebraic effects, Fibers, Coroutines...Oh my!

React Fiber was a full re-write of React that will enable new and exciting patterns around control flow, which we've seen previewed with React Suspense. But what is a fiber? How does it relate to a coroutine? What are algebraic effects, and why do I keep hearing about them? This talk will go over these computer science topics in the context of React Fiber, to help shed some light on how React Fiber is implemented and the control flow concepts behind the new APIs.

I am so proud of my son Brandon! He's way smarter than me. When it comes to computers all I know is how to keep it clean! Please explain to me in simple terms what this all means for the "user". I don't know technical jargon, sorry! Is this technology for 5G? Is it technology that protects the "user" from privacy issues? Thank you!

I don't think this will mean much for the user, but it does make life simpler for us programmers, making it easier to write programs
