Of all the ways to program with async, I like transparent asynchrony the most. Even though it may seem implicit, it turns out to be the most convenient.

Great article. I like how it presents a realistic view without hype, showing both the benefits and the tradeoffs.

Swoole Compiler v4 introduces a native AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compiler that radically changes the landscape. The AOT compiler abandons traditional PHP interpretation and allows code to be compiled directly into native binary executables. Perfo

> No actually it's a joy to have no multithreading. To build CPU-bound applications in PHP, you have to install a bunch of packages, rely on Redis, and try to approximate what Python or Go can do in a dozen lines of code. Can that r

It seems like you’re talking about something similar: https://true-async.github.io/en/docs/components/thread-pool.... I’ve also wanted parallelism in PHP for a long time. Especially the kind of parallelism th

I also feel a shift in what I spend my time on. Sometimes I just don’t feel like thinking about complex things. But is that really a problem? If you’re too lazy to do something, maybe it doesn’t need to be done at all?

Nice to see more native C extensions pushing performance boundaries in PHP. Writing grep as an extension rather than shelling out or using preg_match for large file scanning makes a lot of sense — you skip the regex overhead for fixed-strin

Clean approach. We deal with similar memory lifecycle problems in a PHP async extension (C, libuv-based reactor). Coroutine stacks and their associated state need deterministic cleanup when a coroutine completes or gets cancelled — arenas w

Great timing with this — the LocalStack auth token change broke a lot of CI pipelines. Nice to see a Rust-based alternative with that kind of startup time (~500ms, 10 MiB idle). The "real PostgreSQL/Redis behind RDS/ElastiCac

Sounds very promising. Although right now I’m working on a project together with MLIR.

I’m afraid the balance of open source wasn’t broken today. It happened quite a long time ago. It’s just not something people usually talk about. Companies have been using open source code for years to build paid products without giving anyt

I’m working on https://github.com/true-async/php-async and planning to bring it to a production-ready state. It would be great to build a fast HTTP server.
