    We're working on Amp v3 making heavy use of fibers as shipped in PHP 8.1. We're releasing beta versions for each library currently, and we'd like to share our new amphp/pipeline library. If you're waiting for concurrent I/O without boilerplate, you can start testing now. We're happy about feedback on the new major releases!

    like the sibling comment said, web apps are written in Symfony/Laravel, but the framework abstractions with web apps might not paint you a clear picture of how the core language has improved. it will give you a good idea what it's like to build applications.

    my favorite part of modern PHP is how nice writing libraries is. so it might not be what you're looking for, but I remember being pretty impressed with the code quality of the Amp PHP library recently. the v3 branch is 8.x only and (I believe) is targeting the Fibers feature just introduced in 8.1

    Couple of months ago I posted here my microframework I did for learning php. I was talking about version 3 which was ment to add database layer with unit tests. But when I started writing tests I discovered that the codebase can’t be tested. And couple of days ago, after almost a year I released it. I’m not 100 % happy with it, there is still work to do, but I have codebase that let me release more often. So yeah. It ain’t revolution in frameworks, its just tool that helped me understand php, web frameworks in general and I hope it will help some more people. https://github.com/Lemon-Framework/Lemon

    I’m curently working on New version of my framework. It will bring New template system, database and so on. https://github.com/Lemon-Framework/Lemon/tree/v3-develop I already posted about this but couple of days ago I’ve started with juice (the templating system). It started as php learning and now its kinda out of my hands 😳

    I was browsing through a few classes. I noticed in this file - https://github.com/Lemon-Framework/Lemon/blob/v3-develop/src/Lemon/Support/Utils/Env.php The all function is reading and parsing the file. So each time you read an ENV file it has to reread the file and parse it.
