## Project history and usage

fibjs is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine with a fiber-based, synchronous-style, non-blocking I/O model. It targets server-side JavaScript users who want blocking-looking code paths on top of cooperative fibers.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created in May 2014. The README describes fibjs as JavaScript on Fiber and emphasizes V8, fiber switching, synchronous style, and non-blocking I/O as the runtime's core design.

The earliest release returned by the GitHub API in this batch run is v0.2.1 from August 2016, while another cited release was v0.37.0 from February 2024. The repository metadata still showed activity in 2026, but the official README remains terse compared with larger JavaScript runtimes.

### Adoption history

fibjs has a narrower package footprint than Node.js-family tools; the package facts in this batch show Homebrew as the listed package manager. Its GitHub repository nevertheless has a multi-thousand-star audience, suggesting a visible but specialized community around its fiber-first runtime model.

### How it is used

Users run JavaScript with the `fibjs` executable and use the project's documentation for the guide, manual, download page, and module reference. The README directs users to fibjs.org docs and a separate fibjs_docs repository.

### Why package nerds care

fibjs is interesting to package nerds as an alternative JavaScript runtime with a distinct concurrency model rather than as another Node.js package manager companion. Packaging it means providing a standalone V8-based runtime for a smaller ecosystem.

### Timeline

- 2014: GitHub repository created.
- 2016: Earliest GitHub API release in this batch run, v0.2.1, published.
- 2024: v0.37.0 published in the GitHub release stream cited for this record.
- 2026: Repository metadata showed continued activity.

### Related projects

- fibjs is conceptually related to V8-based JavaScript runtimes and to fiber/coroutine concurrency models used to present synchronous-looking APIs over non-blocking I/O.
