    if n < 2
      1
    else
      fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
    end
  end

  def p_fib(n)
    puts fib(n)
  end
end

t = Test.new
#=> <PbActor::Proxy:0x00000002106448 @origin=#<Test:0x00000002106470>, @pid=23487, @rd=#<IO:fd 7>, @wr=#<IO:fd 10>>

t.alive?
#=> true

t.fib(30)
#=> 1346269

t.async.p_fib(30)
#=> nil
# 1346269

t.terminate
t.alive?
#=> false

def fib n
  if n < 2
    1
  else
    fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
  end
end

Benchmark.bm do |bm|
  bm.report{puts (30..35).map{|n| fib(n)}.reduce(:+)}
  bm.report{puts (30..35).map{|n| Test.new.future.fib(n)}.map(&:value).reduce(:+)}
end
