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.
If you are interested in learning more about Swift's concurrency features and how they can be applied, you might find the session A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design helpful, as it covers concurrency in Swift.
What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design
Learn the essential features and design philosophy of the Swift programming language. We’ll explore how to model data, handle errors, use protocols, write concurrent code, and more while building up a Swift package that has a library, an HTTP server, and a command line client. Whether you’re just beginning your Swift journey or have been with us from the start, this talk will help you get the most out of the language.
