⚠️ Compiler Error
This week's theme: Swift Actors!
- Actors are a reference type distinct from classes that enable thread-safe access to the data within the actor by gating access behind async members.
- Actors can be used from Objective-C so long as the type is marked with @objc, and only non-isolated and asynchronous methods are called.
- Actors can be accessed from non-asynchronous code within the same module so long as only let properties or non isolated methods are called.
- Actors are implemented using special GCD queues and locks under the hood at compile time, minimizing bugs that arise from incorrect usage of isolated properties.
