Swift Evolution: Actors
I love actors, but baking them into the language like this seems like the wrong approach to me.<p>The language should provide all the necessary abstractions to create an isolated context. Actors can then "just" be a default abstraction provided by the standard library.<p>Side note: has the Swift cross platform support improved? I was very much looking forward to using Swift as a general purpose language, but Apple didn't seem very interested in making it a true first class cross platform language. I believe IBM also dropped their "Swift for the server" efforts a while ago due to similar concerns.
