[swift-evolution] Active Objects | Actors | Synchronisations

[Javier Soto]

I'm personally super excited about Swift adopting some kind of concurrency
abstraction. However, the team has indicated that this is our of scope for
Swift 3: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/README.md

On the other hand, there's been a lot of library innovation in this area,
so I think it's good it'll take some more time for any of this to happen in
the language itself, since some of these ideas could mature before
committing them into the language.
