[swift-server-dev] Next HTTP API meeting

[Sergo Beruashvili]

That way you are just passing an argument to a closure, not capturing as I mentioned before, 

How would you create a closure for this function, that does something in background queue, then moves to main queue and changes a property of original struct? Can you provide a sample ?

Sergo
