Good day, everyone. I would like to request permission to create an RFC dedicated to the asynchronous module for PHP. Although the source code development is still in progress, a significant part of it has already been written, and the initial tests are working successfully. Therefore, I could start the documentation process if you consider this topic relevant and interesting for the community. A brief overview of what this RFC will cover: 1. *True* asynchronous support for PHP core functions without additional "tricks." 2. *Scheduler* and *Reactor* components, providing a C-API for PHP extensions to enable non-blocking I/O in plugins or core code. 3. *User-Land API* that mirrors the C-API for PHP developers. 4. Basic primitives for concurrent programming, such as *Channel* and *Iterator*. 5. *Built-in* integration with the *LibUV* library. The library is based on *Fiber*, extending and enhancing it to provide PHP developers with a full set of tools for concurrent applications. Have a great day! Edmond
