    Thanks! Macroexpanded:<p><i>Flow: Actor-based language for C++, used by FoundationDB</i> - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=46191763">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=46191763</a> - Dec 2025 (53 comments)

  This looks kind of outdated, especially since we are on C++23 as latest approved standard, and co-routines would be a better approach since C++20.<p>Also how is the supposed Swift rewrite going on?

    Just because coroutines exist doesn’t mean everything should use them for concurrency.<p>Why would it be better? It’s pretty easy to set up threads in general.
