Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [VOTE] Fiber API
From: me@kelunik.com (Niklas Keller)

Hey Haitao,

there doesn't seem to be any voting snipped on that page, so there's
no actual vote yet.
Also, the open issues section should usually be empty when the vote starts.

The implementation in its current state is very limited and not really
useful to real-world applications.
Written code can't even be tested with common testing tools such as
PHPUnit, because PHPUnit relies on reflection, which is unsupported by
the current RFC.

Additionally, the "why not as extension" doesn't really have a good
reasoning. In its current state, I think it's better suited as an
external extension.

I'd really like to get fibers into PHP, but not in that state, sorry.

Regards, Niklas
