I wasn't aware of ASGI, in the past I read about WSGI and noticed a PHP
connector allowing the PHP app to run inside the WSGI server.
I read most of the spec
https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/specs/index.html yesterday and it
sounds like a really solid solution.
Personally, I'd love to see something similar for PHP.
It'd clearly be something different from the usual PHP app where global
$_GET|POST variables carry the HTTP request input.
Solution taken by Python in fact is about returning a callable fulfilling a
specific signature no matter if this is a simple function, closure or
Object implementing __invoke function - and this gives much flexibility.
I believe that considering the fact that ASGI provides an API for HTTP
interaction including WebSockets that could only benefit to PHP ecosystem.

In the past, I was thinking about something similar to adopting WSGI but
was not aware of ASGI.

Cheers,
