CHAPTER

Swift and Concurrency

The new concurrence features have been in development for quite a long time, and i know that many developers have been eagerly waiting for them to become fully supported in official versions of the language. I think sort of one shortcoming of the language now is that there's a bit of a steep learning curve to working with futures. The introduction of asincaweight will hopefully make it much easier for people coming from a background maybe writing primarily synchronous code, to dive into writing a syncronis swift. And structured concurrency should make it, in general, very easy for people to reason about concurity in their swift programmes more so than it has been now.
