I have spoken to Aaron P (author of the Fibers RFC and Amp) extensively on this topic. The current plan is that Amp and React will co-develop a common loop and promise library that both end up using. That will effectively make it the de facto standard in the PHP ecosystem anyway. They would then both build different convenience APIs on top of the core plumbing. I've suggested several times that FIG is happy to help as part of the standards process, but they seem comfortable doing their own thing independently. We're definitely happy to have such standards, but it has to be driven by the domain experts in that area for it to have any value, and so far the domain experts seem happy to collaborate independently of FIG. --Larry Garfield -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PHP Framework Interoperability Group" group.
