@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.

    @matthew I think we'll be in a much better place in a couple of years, once Approachable Concurrency has fully landed as the default.

    @matthew @rhysmorgan The problem is I find actual real data races ~ 100% of the time I look. So, I need more convincing of this, because while not all of these result in crashes and/or user-visible problems for sure, some definitely do.
