I agree.

I don't mention about implementation, but specification.

Thread#raise is one of inter communication method (but asynchronouse, difficult, unrecommended way).

Fibers can be under control without such communication.

Feature #10344: [PATCH] Implement Fiber#raise

----------------------------------------
While it is possible to implement this in pure Ruby (by wrapping Fiber.yield and Fiber#resume), this feels like a low-level feature that ought to be provided out of the box. Also, the C implementation is more straight-forward, and more efficient. Unfortunately, it is not quite possible to implement this as a C extension module (without resorting to wrappers again); cf. the change to make_passing_arg().

Example usage:

~~~
fib = Fiber.new do
  counter = 0
  loop { counter += Fiber.yield }
  counter
end
fib.resume
fib.resume 10
fib.resume 100
fib.raise StopIteration # => 110
~~~
