Fantastic functions and where to find them
summary
Claims specific features and demos: a CLI renderer termwind uses HTML classes to style terminal output; concurrency via process control fork and a fork package runs many closures in parallel (demo sleeps finish in ~5s, illustrating sleep‑sort); Livewire renders HTML server‑side and patches the DOM so interactivity needs no JS; reflection‑based Invade reads private properties and calls private methods. Ecosystem numbers appear: ~300 company packages, 900 million total downloads (45M/month), Packagist ~400k packages and 4.3M versions, ~100 billion installs.
