Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Getting started with asynchronous PHP using ReactPHP
ReactPHP has various components, such as the event loop, promise, and streams. When you install ReactPHP, these components and a few more are installed, so you don’t have to install the separately.
-
Where does PHP being single threaded affect performance and can anything be done to make it better?
For that things PHP usually uses external help in form of queues in Redis or other DBs. And then one process which spawn other ones. Did you heard about Event Loop, pcntl_fork() and php-cli from crontab? That solves the whole problem in the world before Fibers.
-
Does PHP really not support asynchronous calls natively?
It can run without an extension, but for best performance, one of libuv, libev or libevent should be installed to accelerate performance, otherwise it uses stream_select() which doesn't require an extension but has worse performance. See https://github.com/reactphp/event-loop#loop-implementations

What is best and easiest library (packagist) for async process in PHP?

Getting started with asynchronous PHP using ReactPHP
ReactPHP is a library that allows you to turn PHP into something like Go or Node.js so that tasks can be performed asynchronously. Note that ReactPHP is just a library that you install with Composer. It doesn’t have cumbersome requirements, such as installing a custom PHP extension; it just works as intended.

Understanding Concurrency in PHP
ReactPHP is categorized as a low-level dependency for event-driven programming. It features an event loop that supports low-level utilities, such as HTTP client/server, async DNS resolver, streams abstraction, and network client/servers.

Which FW should I use for the link shortening service?
So you could either skip the framework entirely and shave of these 10ms per request, or you could turn to something like Laravel Octane or ReactPHP to have a long running application that answers requests without bootstrapping the whole framework each time (which is what Node.js, Python or .NET applications do, the practice of restarting the whole app with every request is quite unique to the PHP community).
-
How are folks feeling about the React team's push toward server components?
I remember calling out the movement to serverside of the frontend framework as reactPHP (I think it's when the remix hype first surfaced) on twitter and realized there's a literal php framework called reactPHP (https://reactphp.org/) since they liked my tweet lol.
-
PHP Swoole or OpenSwoole?
https://reactphp.org/ of course.
-
I don’t get all the hate for PHP and at this point I am too afraid to ask.
You could also use something like EventMachine (In ruby), Twisted (Python), Node (JS) or ReactPHP (for PHP) that will use the language and turn it into a web application server, and then you'll have only one long running process that handle all your requests with shared memory. You could even use something more fancy like RoadRunner in the case of PHP.
-
Why does a lot of developers hate PHP?
Comparing PHP to NodeJS is completely wrong to begin with. If you want to compare NodeJS to something in the PHP ecosystem it would be ReactPHP.

Is it possible that PHP will ever get async/await functions?
Dunno about PHP core, but there is also ReactPHP. https://reactphp.org/
-
Do I need Laravel for an HTTP API project? If so, why?
There are many micro-frameworks available like Slim, Mezzio(with Swoole may be), or if you are into async then you can also try Framework X(from core maintainer of ReactPHP). This frameworks have small footprints compare to Laravel, Symfony, etc. Yes, you can't get things like authentication, routing and other out of the box but they can easily be installed and configured to be used.
