I personally like the name fiber better than green threads. But everywhere I’ve worked in user space cooperative threads, it’s always been green threads.

They are different things perhaps? Fibers imply strict cooperative behaviour; I have to explicitly “yield” to give the other fibers a go, green threads are just runtime managed threads?
