On an unrelated note, first time I've come across React (http://nodephp.org/). Awesome project. Would be sweet to have non-blocking MySQL bindings.
Yeah, the lack of native non-blocking bindings is quite the issue. There have been some attempts at implementing plain-PHP non-blocking drivers. One of the most impressive I've seen so far is phpdaemon: https://github.com/kakserpom/phpdaemon.
You should make a Coldfusion port next if you really want to give this thing a 90's feel.
Fun use case: On Chrome latest (22) view the README section with the example gif. Open a new tab, spend a few minutes on it, go back to view the sample gif and it goes into warp drive .
nice catch, the longer you stay on the README tab the longer it warps
Off topic, but I got a disproportional amount of fun from the gif. Who is he, what's the context?
Eric, from Tim and Eric's Awesome show. It's difficult to explain the context due to the nature of the show. Just give it a watch and you'll see what I mean.
Holy hell this is ridiculous. We have multipart/x-mixed-replace you know.
