But at least I would know that the PHP community truly wants to make the language asynchronous. I still don’t understand the answer to that question. It seems to me: no. We could probably include a vote in this RFC on three core principles: * concurrency * transparent asynchronicity * cancellation to see how many people support them. If more than one third vote against it, then we can safely stop trying to change anything.
