To share an AsyncStream in Swift, you can utilize Swift's concurrency features, such as actors, to safely manage shared mutable state. Actors in Swift automatically protect their state by serializing accesses, ensuring that only a single task can execute at a time on an actor. This makes them suitable for managing shared resources like an AsyncStream.

For example, you can encapsulate the AsyncStream within an actor to ensure that all accesses to the stream are serialized and safe from data races. This approach leverages Swift's concurrency model to handle asynchronous operations and shared state effectively.
