I have about 30k lines of Swift in my app + Matrix sdk, all heavily using async/await. Plus another couple kloc in a Vapor API backend.

Swift async/await is quite nice.

The Actor stuff is IMO way oversold - reentrancy issues make it not actually useful for the things that they claim, like querying a database. It’s still a useful construct to have, you just need to be aware of what it does or doesn’t provide.
