> modern times to run php, people would use php-fpm with nginx, it is running multiple worker (single) process, so why would anyone [2], [3] wants multi-core coroutines in it? What does it even mean? Not everyone does. There's also https://reactphp.org (which is an event loop runtime, similar to Node), and https://amphp.org (also event loops), and Swoole https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src (coroutine runtime, similar to Go). Fibers are basically an API that event-loop runtime libs can use so that userland code doesn't need to use promises or generators to run non-blocking operations. Fibers are not useful for php-fpm or swoole users.
In PHP 8.1.0

I would be a little bit careful while using swoole. They added some code that loaded code from a third party server [1] (a core developer who seems to be located in china). Even though it seems like they removed it doesn't bring a good feeling. It seems like there were also some disagreements with a contributor who maintained the website of swoole and he forked it [2]: https://github.com/openswoole/swoole-src [1] https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src/issues/4434 [2] https://news-web.php.net/php.pecl.dev/17446
In PHP is worth learning and using
