The current trend in govt regulation is actually going in the opposite direction, with telecom lobbies in Europe pushing for "fair share" (pretty much an implementation through law of what Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone Germany are doing right now) through the Digital Networks Act.
South Korea pioneered "fair share" govt regulations in 2016 (which caused Twitch to exit the market in 2024 due the exorbitant "fair share" fees).
Async functions based on PHP fibers are explicitly uncolored, they do not require any special keywords to be invoked, and are explicitly swappable with any regular functions.
Fibers are incredibly powerful, as they can be used to implement seamless go-like concurrency with async, colorless functions.
They were added to PHP by the maintainers of amphp (https://amphp.org), which is the best library for async PHP out there, providing a clean, object-oriented and async API for files, databases and everything that can make use of async I/O.
