Swift Concurrency (async/await, structured concurrency, actors) is Apple's modern approach to handling concurrent code safely. Used by iOS developers, macOS developers, and Swift backend engineers. Time to learn: 8–12 weeks. Sits between Swift fundamentals and advanced concurrent systems.
Swift Concurrency is Apple's modern concurrency framework introduced in Swift 5.5 (iOS 15+). It includes async/await (for writing asynchronous code that reads sequentially), structured concurrency (tasks, task groups, cancellation), and actors (for safe mutable state in concurrent code). Unlike callbacks or Combine, async/await makes concurrent code read like synchronous code. Threads are managed automatically; developers focus on what to do, not how to manage threads.
