Swift community invites developers to review and participate in development of Distributed Actors in Swift.

Distributed actors are an early and experimental language feature. We aim to simplify and push the state-of-the-art for distributed systems programming in Swift as we did with concurrent programming with local actors and Swift’s structured concurrency approach embedded in the language.

Swift Blog

Current nightly Swift toolchain is already capable of building code with distributed actors.
