The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Processing One Billion Rows in PHP!
Yes, we can! So far my approach was single threaded, which is the nature of most PHP software, but PHP does support threads in user land through the parallel extension.

Multi-threaded code via PHP-FPM
1- You can play around with the pcntl extension or any wrapper library like parallel. I'd say this also adds unnecessary complexity.

Convert php bot to py or js
Hello everything is fine? I need to use this bot, it works normally in php, but I can't get it to run because I need to compile php with the parallel library https://github.com/krakjoe/parallel. The bot, when giving the command, it checks in the api if the member belongs to the guild mentioned in the code and assigns it the correct role.

Parallel requires ZTS
Hello, I'm trying to install a dependency (https://github.com/krakjoe/parallel). it asks you to install ZTS, so from what I've researched on the internet it has to do with the "Xdebug" extension. I did the installation and configured the php.ini. But when I try to give the command "./configure --enable-parallel", I get this error:
- Weekly "ask anything" thread
- Elixir/Erlang VM Concurrency in PHP

Are Swoole maintainers lacking confidence in their product? Perspective from a PHP Core maintainer.
The CPU scheduler component for sure cannot be done in user-land, but I also have trouble understanding why it is needed, as from my understanding the whole point of fibers is to not rely on OS threads, which can be used by using the parallel extension.

Type-constrained elements collection in PHP ?
These are called generics. PHP currently doesn't support them, but there is work being done towards them being added. There are a lot of complications that need to be figured out before they can be implemented. See https://github.com/PHPGenerics/php-generics-rfc/issues and https://github.com/Danack/RfcCodex/blob/master/generics.md.

Maintainer of Swoole about the Fibers RFC: "I am afraid that fiber can only be used in the amphp framework and is of no value to other php projects."
And it's one of the reasons I think the rule "Don't volunteer other people for huge amounts of work" is appropriate.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing parallel and RfcCodex you can also consider the following projects:
async-php-8-io-http - True asynchronous PHP I/O and HTTP without frameworks, extensions, or annoying code. Uses PHP Fibers introduced in PHP 8.1
scalar_objects - Extension that adds support for method calls on primitive types in PHP
symfony-docker - A Docker-based installer and runtime for Symfony. Install: download and `docker compose up`.
react-fiber - ReactPHP + ext-fiber
pecl-php-operator - Operator overloading for Objects
parallel - An advanced parallelization library for PHP, enabling efficient multitasking, optimizing resource use, and application responsiveness through multiple CPU threads.
varexporter - A powerful alternative to var_export(), which can export closures and objects without __set_state()
coroutine - Cooperative multitasking using generators. The basics of coroutines, async and await!
php-docker - Docker Official Image packaging for PHP
React - Event-driven, non-blocking I/O with PHP.
swoole-bundle-symfony-demo - Minimal hello world Symfony application built with Swoole and Docker
