Structured control flow and managed memory each took away a freedom and handedback a guarantee. Concurrency in PHP has not made that trade.

I'm a Drupal and PHP enthusiast, but also language polyglot in a wide area of other languages like python, prolog, haskell, typst. Structured concurrency is a topic that I follow for a very long time in other languages. And I would love it if PHP comes to the community of other languages that have it. Doing so would mean that is not an option, but a rule. (See goto deate 50 years ago.)
Finally, a bit in a rush before DrupalCon, I put together an article series about it. Yes with a later ask for backers, but I'm fine whether the answer is yes or no. I just want to have a decision whether I (no wealth background) can afford to work more on it. And yes, I used bebble machine to help me write that up - as a non-english speaker it enabled me to put that out in the first place.
What I hope to get here most is more feedback from people in other language communities: How can giving up freedom and win local reasoning be communicated so that most people understand that it's "something they want".
Live long and prosper!
