Swift has a special task group type called a discarding task group, which has a very specialized function: tasks that complete are automatically discarded and destroyed, ...

Swift Testing's parameterized tests allow us to send multiple values into a single test, and they'll be run in parallel for maximum performance. If you don't want this – if you wa...

Swift's actors run on their own executor most of the time, so they manage how and where their work is done. However, during the actor's initialization its executor isn't ready to t...

Older Swift code uses completion handlers for notifying us when some work has completed, and sooner or later you’re going to have to use it from an async function –&nbs...

Swift’s actors allow us to share data in multiple parts of our app without causing problems with concurrency, because they automatically ensure two pieces of code cannot...

You can loop over an AsyncSequence using Swift’s regular loop types, for, while, and repeat, but whenever you read a value from the async sequence you mus...

If you’re executing a long-running task that has few if any suspension points, for example if you’re repeatedly iterating over an intensive loop, you can call Task.yield()&n...

Actor-isolated functions are reentrant, which means it's possible for one piece of work to begin before a previous piece of work completes. This opens the possibility of subtle bug...

You can only call async functions from other async functions, because they might need to suspend themselves and everything that is waiting for them. This leads to a bit of a chicke...

Swift provides several ways of receiving a potentially endless flow of data, allowing us to read values one by one, or loop over them using for, while, or similar.Swift ...
