Hi, folks. Central to the overall Swift concurrency effort is the ability to directly express what we call asynchronous functions . An asynchronous function still returns a result or throws an error, but it does so asynchronously — that is, after a long enough potential delay that it's valuable to allow the thread to go on with other work in the meantime. Traditionally this has been expressed with explicit callbacks (often called "completion handlers" in the Apple ecosystem), but that sacri...| Swift Forums
Hello all, One of the main parts of the Swift Concurrency model is actors, which provide a mechanism for isolating state in concurrent programs to eliminate data races. This proposal introduces actors and actor isolation into Swift. It is part of the Swift Concurrency effort detailed in the roadmap thread. This post has a subset of the proposal. The latest, full version of the proposal is always available here. Doug Actors Introduction The actor model involves entities called actors. Each ac...| Swift Forums
