What do robot toddlers and coloring pages teach us about data races? First in a series building concrete mental models for Swift Concurrency. Feedback welcome!

A few months ago, I started building CiderKit.Tween, a #Swift6 package dedicated to animation and tweening in particular.
For my fellow #Unity game devs, think DOTween but for #Swift and #SpriteKit.
Version 0.5.0 has been released with several new additions.
#Development
After a busy period with the #SwiftyNetworking refactor, Im now back in @commitphotos with performance tweaks. ๐ง๐จโ๐ป
I thought the project was ready for #Swift6, not now. The plan is simple - to start a solid promo and have an update ready at the end of the month. ๐ธ
How do you bridge the gap between legacy Apple APIs and Swift 6's strict concurrency model?
๐๐๐๐๐ด๐๐ก๐๐.๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ provides a MainActor context within synchronous methods, solving compatibility issues with APIs like ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ก๐ด๐ก๐ก๐๐โ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ and ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐. This is essential knowledge for Swift 6 migration!

๐จ BREAKING: Swift 6 introduces "typed throws" to make error handling *typesafe* and *user-friendly.* ๐จ Because, apparently, developers were just tossing random errors around like confetti at a tech conference. ๐ Next up: Swift 7 - a guide on how to use a keyboard. ๐

Just released the first (early) version of a new tweening package written entirely in #swift, which supports Swift 6 Strict Concurrency:
CiderKit.Tween
Full documentation and sample project available.
More info here: https://github.com/chsxf/CiderKit.Tween
I'm halfway through "Practical Swift Concurrency" from @donnywals , and it has already proved very useful to understand this new paradigm in concurrent multi-threaded programming.

I'm not there yet, but I'm progressing anyway.
Migrated one of the projects to Swift6... And fixed compatibility issues with macOS/iOS 26. Not going lie.. It was a painful experience. But I am glad that I did it. Sure migrating all other apps will be easier.

At https://talk.objc.io/ Iโve found a series about Swift 6 Concurrency, see here. Iโm going to read/watch the episodes since my Swift knowledge is still on Swift 5.9.
