Fibers with a grain of salt

Read Original

This article discusses the introduction of fibers in PHP 8.1, a low-level concurrency feature for managing parallel execution. It explains the concept of asynchronous HTTP requests, contrasts synchronous vs. parallel processing, and clarifies that fibers are 'green threads' designed as a foundational API for building higher-level abstractions rather than for direct use in most application code.
