@mattiem @matthew @akbashev …for everyone, where a method is running, async or not. Approachable Concurrency making async methods behave the same way Task has is a good start, and hopefully the @.concurrent keyword will reduce the proliferation of inappropriate Task.detached usage you see throughout codebases, often with a git blame that dates back a few years 😃

@rhysmorgan Yeah, we’re in an era of “make the error go away” rather than “do the right thing”. I hate to say it, but Swift concurrency is great as an academic exercise in code correctness, but not so good in a day-to-day tool.
