Hi Matt!
First of all, congrats for this great library! I found "async" after reading the blog article from Nikic about the use of the "yield" keyword, and I'm still pretty new to all this.
I did a few tests with your lib. I think I'm starting to get a good grip on it. I was wondering one thing though. It is kind of tedious to cast everything to a "Task" before yielding it.
Most of the time, I'm yielding values, or promises, or callbacks...
Therefore, I tried to cast the value passed to "yield" into the GeneratorTask. This way, the burden is on the lib rather than on the developer.
Instead of doing:
$result = (yield Util::async($resultTask));I can now write:
$result = (yield $resultTask);Does it sound a good idea to you or is there a particular reason why you chose not to do it?
Anyway, thanks for this lib, it is great being able to do some async stuff that looks synchronous :)
