I'm super excited the "Actors" proposal was accepted by swift-evolution last week. This is a major step forward for improving memory safety / design patterns for task based concurrency on CPUs. Swift is the first mainstream language to embark on this! 💪 github.com/apple/swift-ev…

@clattner_llvm "first mainstream" Chris are you just trying to start fights now? :)

@clattner_llvm Wait. So is this like the Actors from Akka? 🤔

@clattner_llvm Holy cow! Swift’s moving faster than light towards async and related stuff. Such a nice add to the ecosystem. Maybe it’s something that I’m willing to mess with in the near future. Who knows.

@clattner_llvm To be honest, this is not really exciting to dev communities.
