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. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** fibjs - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Web development packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/web-dev-tools/) - Matched web development metadata. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [node](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/node/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, javascript, language-runtime, runtime, server-side. - [deno](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/deno/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, javascript, language-runtime, runtime. - [duktape](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/duktape/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, javascript, language-runtime, runtime. - [ringojs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ringojs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, javascript, language-runtime, runtime. - [v8](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/v8/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, javascript, language-runtime, runtime. - [boa](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/boa/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, javascript, language-runtime. - [gjs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gjs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, javascript, language-runtime. - [jerryscript](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jerryscript/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, javascript, language-runtime. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
