My experience says that callback, promise, yield, not transparent as the async/await in С#. In other languages: Python - coroutines with async and await https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/ ECMAScript https://github.com/lukehoban/ecmascript-asyncawait When Node.js appear async/await, many developers and projects will migrate to a Node.js, if PHP is not implement async APIs. Hopefully, Dmitry Stogov and others, will make another surprise: PHP-Next-Async? :) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
