asyncio vs Slim: What are the differences?
What is asyncio? Asynchronous I/O, event loop, coroutines and tasks. This module provides infrastructure for writing single-threaded concurrent code using coroutines, multiplexing I/O access over sockets and other resources, running network clients and servers, and other related primitives.
What is Slim? A PHP micro framework. Slim is easy to use for both beginners and professionals. Slim favors cleanliness over terseness and common cases over edge cases. Its interface is simple, intuitive, and extensively documented — both online and in the code itself.
asyncio and Slim can be primarily classified as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.
Slim is an open source tool with 10.1K GitHub stars and 1.85K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Slim's open source repository on GitHub.
Coderus, WebbyLab, and ProduceRun, Inc are some of the popular companies that use Slim, whereas asyncio is used by RolePoint, RapidSOS, and Lamoda.ru. Slim has a broader approval, being mentioned in 43 company stacks & 139 developers stacks; compared to asyncio, which is listed in 5 company stacks and 9 developer stacks.
