FIBER SUPERVISION IN ZIO
summary
ZIO provides lightweight tens of thousands of fibers running on a small thread pool and concrete operations: fork, join, interrupt, ensuring, bracket, race/raceAll and zip, plus STM, refs and promises. The concrete claim is that hierarchical fiber supervision restores fork/join identity and prevents resource leaks; prior approaches (transplantation in RC17) introduces races, while RC18 forced child interruption (safer but breaks identity). Upcoming work adds explicit scopes to get both safety and correct lifetimes. Use high‑level combinators ~90% of the time.
