async/await is the single greatest addition to modern application
development in the last 20 years. Every language needs these features.
Microsoft completely solved the core problems surrounding multithreaded
programming with the concepts behind these two keywords.
While not disputing this claim I think PHP should only reserve words
when there are somewhat concrete plans for their use. There have been
talks and draft RFCs for things like void returns and union types with
Foo | null, so reserving `void` and `null` makes sense. Perhaps there
is a massive effort somewhere off-list but I am not aware of any plans
on implementing async/await in PHP.
In the interview with Dmitry asynchronous behaviour was
mentioned as one key area for the future, see:

Hope it materialises some day!
