  • Swift Asynchronous Programming Recipes on GitHub

    Swift developer Matt Massicotte, formerly at Crashlytics and Apple, has recently launched a GitHub repo collecting a number of useful recipes to make it easier to use Swift concurrency and solve recurrent problems, while being aware of the most common traps you can fall into.

  • Swift 5.10 Brings Full Data Isolation Compile-Time Safety to Concurrent Code

    The latest Swift release, Swift 5.10, includes just a few new proposals that nevertheless represent an important achievement for the language concurrency model, which is now able to ensure full data isolation at the compiler level, explains Swift team engineer Holly Borla.

  • Structured Concurrency in JDK 21: A Leap Forward in Concurrent Programming

    JEP 453, Structured Concurrency (Preview), has been Integrated from the Targeted status for JDK 21. Formerly an incubating API, this initial preview incorporates enhancements in response to feedback from the previous two rounds of incubation: JEP 428, Structured Concurrency (Incubator), delivered in JDK 19; and JEP 437, Structured Concurrency (Second Incubator), delivered in JDK 20.

  • JEP 428: Structured Concurrency to Simplify Java Multithreaded Programming

    JEP 428, Structured Concurrency (Incubator), has been promoted from Proposed to Target to Targeted status for JDK 19. Under the umbrella of Project Loom, this JEP proposes simplifying multithreaded programming by introducing a library to treat multiple tasks running on different threads as an atomic operation. It will streamline error handling, improve reliability, and enhance observability.
