  • Symfony 7 vs. .NET 8 - same-same but different?
    1 project | dev.to | 3 May 2024
    I started with Rust a while ago. It's a beautiful language. My problem with it was the problem space it's good at addressing. I ended up not only trying to learn Rust but also wholly new paradigms related to writing low-level code, libraries, or even trying to write a PHP extension in Rust (that was way before https://github.com/davidcole1340/ext-php-rs). I learned a lot about PHP and Rust/C/PHP interoperability ;) But the learning curve was steep. In my opinion, it isn't easy to learn more than one thing simultaneously. A new language is enough. If, on top of that, you need to learn entirely new paradigms - it can be cumbersome.
  • PHP-Tokio – Use any async Rust library from PHP
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Aug 2023
    The PHP <-> Rust bindings are provided by https://github.com/Nicelocal/ext-php-rs/ (our fork of https://github.com/davidcole1340/ext-php-rs with a bunch of UX improvements :).

    php-tokio's integrates the https://revolt.run event loop with the https://tokio.rs event loop; async functionality is provided by the two event loops, in combination with PHP fibers through revolt's suspension API (I could've directly used the PHP Fiber API to provide coroutine suspension, but it was a tad easier with revolt's suspension API (https://revolt.run/fibers), since it also handles the base case of suspension in the main fiber).
