Postmodern PHP: appserver.io, a multithreaded application server for PHP, written in PHP

There’s a lot of very interesting stuff going on in the PHP scene right now, I have the feeling this quite often bashed language gets more and more interesting every day. Today sitepoint.com published an interview [1] with the guys behind appserver.io, a free and open-source (and hopefully also with excellent paid hosting services) multithreaded server, ironically written in PHP itself !

Yes, full and parallel usage of all cores (and threads on hyperthreaded CPUs)!
No need to install Apache, NGINX or similar. And this seems to be really fast!

I guess this will become a very important project … More updates on that soon.

Update #1:

TechDivision has published a installation guideline for Debian Wheezy on the GitHub page [1]

Update #2:

TechDivision has published a roadmap with planned and upcoming features [1]

Update #3:

Interesting one-minute-clip, showing the awesome one-packed-file (.phar) drag and drop deployment of apps on “appserver” [3]
