Unpopular opinion: php != async

I currently don't see a future for async in core PHP, as it would divide the PHP community and potentially harm the language (similar to what happened with Perl 6).

If I really needed an asynchronous language, I would simply choose one that is designed for it. Same as i choose PHP for API and ssr web.

Some people say PHP is "dead" if it doesn’t get async, but PHP is more popular than ever, and a major part of its ecosystem is built around synchronous code.

I know many here will disagree, but the major PHP developers are often the quiet ones – not the people loudly demanding specific features.

Why don’t major companies invest in PHP’s evolution?

PHP powers a massive part of the internet.
And while some companies sponsor the PHP Foundation, the money can´t cover big progress.

What I’m trying to understand is this:

Why does no major company invest seriously in moving PHP forward as a language and runtime?

Given how widespread PHP is, the potential upside for a corporate sponsor seems obvious:

* massive visibility in one of the largest developer communities
* influence on a core web technology
* improvements that could directly benefit their own platforms
* better efficiency, lower infrastructure costs
* a modernized language that stays competitive long-term
* strong goodwill in open-source
* maybe more? win-win agreements?

So the question is:

If the ecosystem is this big. Why is there no significant investment into its evolution?
What are the real reasons large companies stay passive?

Is it simply because PHP has no clear long-term roadmap or vision for where the language should go to be visibile?
It could be anything. I don´t know. May you do?

And maybe the most important point:
How much would meaningful language-level progress actually cost? 15million in 5 years?

Curious to hear how the community sees this.

Laravel Tagged Cache

https://github.com/BrekiTomasson/laravel-tagged-cache

I wrote this package to scratch my own itch, basically as a wrapper around the "tags" feature of Laravel's Cache facade. Give it a spin and let me know what you think, I feel it solves a lot of headaches when working with tags and cache in general.
