Common challenges during migration are global variables and interactions with the main actor in UI code. Solutions often involve marking variables as immutable, isolating code to the main actor, or using specific annotations to manage concurrency safety.
This is a global actor that describes the main thread, pretty handy given how often you need to make quick changes that update the user interface.
A data race is when two threads access the same mutable object without synchronization, while a race condition is when the order of events affects the correctness of the program.
Swift actor isolation is a feature of Swift concurrency that allows actors to protect their state from concurrent access by other actors or….
Swift task groups (TaskGroup, ThrowingTaskGroup) are a feature introduced in Swift 5.5 that allow you to create and manage a collection of….
A task can run in the background and communicate with the UI thread when needed. To create and run a task in Swift, you can use initializers Task.init vs Task.detached.
Swift async/await is a new programming model introduced in Swift 5.5 (released on September 20, 2021) for writing asynchronous code that is….
Asynchronous programming is an essential part of modern software development, allowing applications to perform long-running tasks without….
We need a way to differentiate between the cases that are safe to transfer between concurrency domains and those that are not.
Asynchronous tasks can suspend themselves on continuations which synchronous code can then capture and invoke to resume the task in response to an event.
