Recently listened to "Swift Concurrency Explained" where the host interviewed @mattiem

There are some really good points that Matt brought up in the pod that if you've been reading about Swift concurrency, will reinforce some of the key points that these articles make.

One key takeaway from the pod that I didn't think about before was the distinction Matt made on concurrency in Swift being a language feature, vs GCD being an API, very good point!

@Krupp ohh i’m so glad you liked it!!

And yeah that’s one of my favorite topics. Comparing GCD and Swift is so fun because there is way more overlap than most people think at first.

@mattiem For sure, I'm sharing this episode with my students in our iOS App Development course. When it comes to concurrency, I think there's a good amount of info out there that doesn't make sense, this podcast and the article you shared before (https://fuckingapproachableswiftconcurrency.com/en/) really helps!
