EventLoop interface, on development stage: https://github.com/async-interop/event-loop

That's a userland design for event loops; async/await and coroutines don't necessarily depend on an event loop. They could be added to the language without an event loop, and simply require the user to provide the event loop. My idea was to make a transition into async as simple as possible. Also, I'm partially responsible for the event loop interface above. :P

PHP wrappers for libev and libeio supported PHP 7. https://pecl.php.net/package/ev https://pecl.php.net/package/eio libuv - certainly better because it has everything you need and a huge community.

I agree; libuv is probably the best of the bunch, if we include an event loop library in future versions of PHP. It is not necessary to have a PHP wrapper for libuv, since if it was included in the interpreter itself we would be just using the C interface.

Very need async/await in the PHP core (based on generators). Perhaps there are plans in core developers, for implement async/await?
