Hi Mark, The Fiber API is only tangentially related to async / await, etc. Adding such a feature is a much larger proposal and would not be small undertaking. The future scope proposes using fibers in an async / await implementation, but async / await would not replace fibers. The Fiber API would conflict or prevent async / await from being added to PHP in the future. The two APIs can coexist and serve different purposes.
