Swift Concurrency Under the Hood - iOS Conf SG 2022

Speaker: Marin Todorov
By now you've at least heard about async/await and the new concurrency model in Swift or even better used those in a project. Hopefully so, because a working knowledge will be required for this session to make sense. With the help of the Apple docs, we'll look at synchronous vs asynchronous context, how does the cooperative thread pool manifest itself and, finally, what's with actors?
