The API of dispatch in swift (all imported APIs, actually) is always something we are looking into improving. In the timeline for Swift 3, the primary focus for swift-corelibs-dispatch is to get our cross-platform story to be complete. That means being able to use the existing API reliably on all platforms and without introducing a dramatic shift for everyone who is familiar with dispatch today. We should keep ideas like yours in mind in the longer term as we move forward with the project after this initial goal.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- Tony</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 16, 2016, at 7:15 PM, Chris Amanse via swift-corelibs-dev <<a href="mailto:swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org" class="">swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hello everyone,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Developers have been using Grand Central Dispatch to create asynchronous code and optimize their applications.
