[swift-evolution] [Concurrency] Reactive streams as building blocks for actors etc.

[Howard Lovatt]

Many of the currently popular server side frameworks are switching to
Reactive Streams:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_Streams#Adoption

for their underlying communication, including Akka. Reactive Streams are
also to become builtin to Java, as the Flow class, in version 9.

Would it be wise if Swift 5 also builtin Reactive Stream protocols and
built its Actor implementation etc. on top of this protocol?
