Re: Executing PHP SAPI/runtime from Golang/Rust

Hey, So one thing that keeps me up at night (for a while now) is resisting the urge not to venture down a rabbithole of writing code which is loading the PHP runtime from Rust/Golang (up to MINIT) And then at RINIT time, we load the right SAPI and pass across the SERVER vars that's needed for it.. Here is a use case example. Golang concurrency model on the front, and it can execute PHP CLI SAPI or HTTP SAPI on the back. Moreover if you're looking at reasons people have previously or currently moving away from PHP to other languages, due to limitations like pure async or concurrency stuff .. then perhaps a new FRONTEND which can execute the PHP runtime on the backend would be solving some things. I appreciate this isnt a unique idea and maybe someone else from internals has raised this before .. but I wanted to raise the topic to check the viability of this if it is possible, and what blockers are in our way, currently, if it's not even possible to share SAPI calls from another language runtime.

I'm not sure about the internals you mention. Are you looking for something like https://roadrunner.dev/ "RoadRunner is a high-performance PHP application server, load-balancer, and process manager written in Golang." Best regards Thomas
