Hello internals,
Submitting for discussion the php-community RFC, for a faster-moving, community-driven PHP: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php-community
With this proposal, the entire PHP community gets immediate access to experimental features through an official php-community version of PHP, versioned in a rolling manner (i.e. php-community 2026.03.01), and available on php.net along normal PHP releases.
As anticipated by Edmond Dantes in an earlier thread, I'm now part of the True Async committee.
I decided to not present the RFC as explicitly linked to True Async, to explicitly prevent an interpretation where it is something that will allow us to "sneak in" True Async into PHP.
True Async is one of, but not the only nor the main reason why I created this RFC.
I truly believe that PHP could really benefit from a more agile community RFC process, that can transform it from just a decent and fast language I and so many others love, to an amazing, blazing fast and actually modern and ergonomic language.
I believe PHP truly deserves this.
Kind regards,
Daniil Gentili.
