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.

What have fibers been used for so far?
I've been watching this project: https://github.com/moebiusphp/moebius
- True coroutines like Go
- Native and transparent PHP coroutines and async/await without Swoole

Is it possible that PHP will ever get async/await functions?
Promises are a solution to asynchronicity in general. Promises are more of a specification, so anything claiming to implement Promises solves the same class of problem in the same way. Since php doesn't have language level wrappers for Await behavior it is going to look weird. Either you use something Object Oriented like Promises to handle the timing/async of your calls, or you use something functional like the pcntl functions to handle Process Control of multiple interdependent processes and the pipes/sockets between them. There are also separate Asnycronous libraries available that have a slightly different interface, but they probably just use promises in the backend. See https://github.com/reactphp/async and https://github.com/reactphp/promise for instance if you don't like curl.
