Disagree about the academics point but Async Algorithms is basically an abandoned project at this point. There is someone working on it but the intention is that it evolves basically at the pace that the language does, but without the investment that the language gets. I would recommend against relying on anything going on there.
Between a dead Combine that no longer functions in Swift 6 or a severely handicapped AsyncSequence lacking basic features, where are developers supposed to turn to?
All these projects like Async Algorithms, AsyncExtensions, Asynchrone, etc. are being born out of necessity.
Deprecating Combine would be less of a problem if Sendable wasn’t a hard requirement but it is.
No, I'm talking about the latter. Combine is truly dead but the other repo is mired in an inability to make real changes, because that requires significant review effort, which is not really there. So it's just bugfixes and small tweaks.
