Comparative Asynchronous Programming
None
Agenda 1. Asynchronous programming is hard. 2. Swift already supports
a few async methodologies. 3. Swift supports some other paradigms. 4. But lacks support for others.
Asynchronous Programming: Difficult and Subjective
“Normal” programming
let returnValue = someFunctionCall()
Asynchronous programming
Development is all about tradeoffs
let file = readFile() ... readFile() { file in ...
}
Embrace Tradeoffs
Swift Has Async Built-in. Sorta.
Built-in Async Approaches
Grand Central Dispatch
NSOperationQueue / DRBOperationTree
POSIX Threads
Target / Action
Callbacks / Completion Handlers
logIn(with: credentials) { result in // Handle login success or
failure }
Callback Hell
getCredentialsFromUser() { credentials in logIn(with: credentials) { result in //
Handle login success or failure } }
getCredentialsFromUser() { credentials, error in if credentials { logIn(with: credentials)
{ login, error in if login { // Handle login success } else { // Handle error } } } else { // Handle error } }
(credentials: Credentials?) -> Void (credentials: Credentials?, error: Error?) -> Void
(result: Result<Credentials>) -> Void
enum Result<T> { case success(T) case error(Error) }
Callback Heaven
Some Async Abstractions are Supported in Swift
Promises & Futures
getCredentialsFromUser() .flatMap { credentials in return login(with: credentials) } .onSuccess
{ login in // Handle login success } .onFailure { error in // Handle login error }
Functional Reactive Programming
getCredentialsFromUser() .flatMap { credentials in return login(with: credentials) } .on(next:
{ login in // Handle login success }, error: { error in // Handle login error })
None
gerstureRecognizer.rx .event .map { recognizer in return recognizer.location(in: recognizer.view) }
.bind(to: circle.rx.center)
Actor Model
None
Actor Model
Some Async Abstractions are Impossible in Swift
Async / Await
async func logIn() -> Login { let credentials = await
getCredentialsFromUser() return await logIn(with: credentials) }
Coroutines and Generator Functions
func fibGenerator*() -> Int { var i = 0, j
= 1 repeat { let next = i + j yield next (i, j) = (j, next) } while true } fibGenerator() // returns 1 fibGenerator() // returns 2 fibGenerator() // returns 3 fibGenerator() // returns 5
Wrap Up 1. There’s no “right way” to do async
programming. 2. Asynchronous abstractions built into Swift aren’t great. 3. There are some cool things you can do in Swift. 4. There are other cool things that you can’t do in Swift.
