ModelActor is Just Weird

In this article, Matt shows his journey in understanding how the ModelActor protocol and how Swift Data deals with concurrency in the system.

ModelActor is Just Weird

I actually don’t get too many questions about SwiftData or Core Data. And thank goodness, because I’m not particularly familiar with either. That is, until just recently! I had the chance to work with two different projects, both of which were using SwiftData. While Core Data was introduced in 2005, this SwiftData stuff is brand new.

Documenting your code with DocC
