Hi Tianfeng.Han, Fibers will immediately benefit projects that use async I/O. This is not limited to amphp, but also includes ReactPHP, Guzzle, Symfony, and Psalm, to name that I am aware of that could use it in conjunction with I/O and multi-processing. One of the ReactPHP maintainers and I collaborated on a proof-of-concept for ReactPHP, which is mentioned in the RFC: https://github.com/trowski/react-fiber This fiber API was meant to be a lightweight implementation to enable user space green-threads/coroutines. I would love to see more async tools in PHP, but that will require much more work. This is meant to be a first step toward that eventual goal, without conflicting with or restricting future additions.
