mrb_fiber_yield() is available now; you have to link mruby-fiber mrbgem to use the function; there's no function available to create new fiber from C (countapart of Lua's lua_newthread), but that's because you cannot create a new fiber from C due to mruby C API design limitation. define your method to create fibers in Ruby; close #1269
