I don't write PHP code anymore. I had a great time doing so for years but now I mostly write in Go for a company that writes a lot in PHP.

What I see from PHP is a missed opportunity for not having any native lightweight multi thread capabilities not a robust HTTP server.

I wish the situation changed.

My hope is that the parallel extension will get more widespread adoption when its integrated into FrankenPHP: https://github.com/krakjoe/parallel

I still have flashbacks from working with the pthreads extension, which caused extremely hard to debug, non-reproducible segfaults sometimes; I realise Joe has probably started from scratch and improved a lot on that (and I know he's a generally awesome guy), but without a properly financed maintainer team to support him, I'm not sure I want to take that risk again before parallel has gained some maturity.
