Wasn't Combine unofficially deprecated like three years ago? I remember filing "oh crap Combine is over" tickets for a Combine integration I was just about to ship as part of an SDK.

I know async/await still had to add some features to catch up to Combine but I distinctly remember one of those "no new features for Combine" statements.

@colincornaby Was there a non-SwiftUI replacement? I guess the new observable stuff? I'm still using Combine to observe values to get Android-like LiveData behavior.

@kparichan Async/await, which is also cross platform. It contains things like AsyncSequences that are stand ins for the sorts of things you might do under Combine.

It's been a hot second - C++ has been my primary language for the past 8 months. But I remember there still being a few gaps with Combine.
