Swift 5.5 introduces async/await, structured concurrency, and actors
Swift 5.5, the latest version of Apple-developed language intended to replace C-based languages, has been published with capabilities centering on concurrency and package collections.Described in a September 20 bulletin as a “massive release,” Swift 5.5 can be accessed from swift.org. The release offers concurrency interoperability with Swift predecessor Objective-C, a proposal that bridges Swift concurrency features and the convention-based expression of asynchronous functions in Objective-C. The goal is to allow asynchronous Objective-C APIs to be immediately usable with Swift’s concurrency model.To read this article in full, please click here
