We all hope that WWDC 2023 brings a resolution to the incomplete Foundation/concurrency state-of-affairs.

I'm also hoping that some of the async concurrency algorithms get promoted, too (e.g., channels.)

I'm worried, though, that I haven't seem more hints about addressing a few of my pet peeves:

1. The ability to gracefully constrain the degree of actor reentrancy.

2. Some less punitive `Sendable` patterns. (Admittedly, many of these go away once Foundation gets its act together.)

Here is a modest iOS 17 wish: Fix the #podcasts app. (What a troubled history this app has had.) It freezes (admittedly, only momentarily) while downloading podcasts. Also, I really don’t need to see that there are 20,034 podcasts that I have not listened to, but rather just show me how many are downloaded and still ready for me. Also, sometimes the “automatically download” option doesn’t remove older downloads outside that window. All minor issues, for sure, but a daily annoyance.
The temporary/intermittent freezing in the Podcasts app appears to be fixed in iOS 16.4. Good on them! Much less frustrating!
