This looks kind of outdated, especially since we are on C++23 as latest approved standard, and co-routines would be a better approach since C++20.

Also how is the supposed Swift rewrite going on?

Just because coroutines exist doesn’t mean everything should use them for concurrency.

Why would it be better? It’s pretty easy to set up threads in general.
