Next stop: Istanbul! 🇹🇷 Excited to be speaking at #PHPKonf about #PHP #WASM and #Extism. This talk is all about making 'what ifs' come true. What if we could write PHP extensions in JavaScript? What if a #Laravel app could be bundled as a cross-platform binary? What if PHP scripts could run truly async?

Really exciting approaches to making your own #PHP code faster and more memory efficient. Btw @Crell are the benchmarks still accurate in the currently actively supported versions of PHP? I was particularly impressed by the HALVING of memory consumption.

At the moment, I still use a lot of arrays in constants in classes for consistent, constant mapping of …
