$loop visibility prevent from extending Server

[jason69]

Hi,
in Server class
loop property is defined as private

Is there a specific reason for this?
Could it be protected?
Class can't be extended because of that...
Reason why one would extend: add context options or flags to stream_socket_server

[clue]

The $loop is private because we don't want this to become part of our public API. Keeping this private allows us to change these implementation details without introducing BC breaks.

I agree that keeping this as-is encourages a cleaner design because it makes extending the server more difficult and encourages composition (DI) instead.

This has also already been covered in #12, #14 and #27.

I hope this helps 👍 I believe this has been answered, so I'm closing this for now. Please come back with more details if this problem persists and we may reopen this 👍
