The Swift Concurrency Roadmap

patmcg2 Comments

The Swift Concurrency Manifesto has now produced Swift Concurrency Roadmap (pull request). So that’s progress.

Our goal is to make concurrent programming in Swift convenient, efficient, and safe.

Once implemented, this roadmap will let you write this mess…

This way. 👍

The roadmap contains “nurseries” for creating child tasks 😆, and something called “actor isolation”, starting with “basic actor isolation”. I can’t help but picture a bad actor sitting around his apartment in L.A. 🤷🏻‍♂️

There’s also a solid glossary of what these terms really mean.
