Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Swift Concurrency: Sequential Async Task Architecture
Last weekend, I started reading up on Swift Concurrency through the use of async-await, actors, etc... I really liked what I read and thought of converting my current code to use these new Swift Concurrency tools and ditch the GCD. I used continuation to convert all methods with completion handlers from the Device class to async throw methods and turned Device into an actor in order to protect some members from race conditions. Once more, I am faced with the issue of calling the async methods of the Device actor one by one (waiting for each ones completion before starting the next one). I spent a lot of time thinking on how to do this and came across a number of useful references such as this one and this one. I tried to think of ways of implementing such a channel in my controller class, to guarantee sequential execution of different tasks that require the underlying library, but I'm facing a few issues with this approach:

Let's do a quick poll: Async/Await vs Combine in your codebase going forward
AsyncStreams also now has the associated AsyncAlgorithms library https://github.com/apple/swift-async-algorithms which covers a lot of the Combine features (debounce, merge zip etc.)

Functional Reactive Programming
https://github.com/apple/swift-async-algorithms
Requires Xcode 14, which is still in beta and cannot push to the App Store.
Also, Apple fucked their back port badly. It’s supposedly fixed now, but if you built an app that used async/await anywhere in Xcode 13.X and a user installed running iOS 12/13/up to 14.5 they’d crash on launch.
So I personally wouldn’t trust it, and instead just push to raise your iOS minimum. I’ve had no problems requiring iOS15 in my projects over 1M installs

Anyone know how to create a collection view using RxSwift? I can't seem to find a tutorial on how to create a basic collection view in RxSwift, was able to find ones for Table View though. Appreciate your help!
Asynchronicity is only one aspect of Functional Reactive Programming. You’re comparing single values vs. multiple values. AsyncStream is a better analog, but I’m pretty sure you still need to bring in swift-async-algorithms to have an apples-to-apples comparison.

One of the greatest things i discovered recently, is Reactive programming / Reactive Extensions ( https://github.com/dotnet/reactive ).

Patterns for consuming a throttled/rate limited external APIs?
https://github.com/dotnet/reactive has a lot of different time related extensions for "events". Maybe you'll find something for yourself, if you google for rate limiting with reactive.

What is your preferred asynchronous programming library?
Another option is to use the RxJava library in Java. This library uses reactive programming principles to make it easy to write asynchronous and event-driven code. It's particularly well-suited for handling streams of data and allows you to write code that is both efficient and easy to read.

MVVM Question: How do you manage the interaction between Model and ViewModel?
I'd use a dedicated event bus based on Reactive Extensions or MediatR to publish domain events from your domain services. This probably doesn't solve all your ViewModel update problems as is, maybe you need to revise the granularity (maybe you can have smaller ViewModels that refresh single property that exposes the Model) and lifespan (sometimes you can create a ViewModel, make it perform it's task and then discard it completely) of your ViewModels.

Async Methods after setting a property.
If you're finding yourself in a situation where you need to turn this behavior into a pattern because there are a lot of View Models that need to execute async business logic in response to some changes, I'd go with something like MediatR or Reactive Extensions. The idea is, again, that some other, probably business-level, component listens to changes in a decoupled way (that means it doesn't subscribe directly to your View Model, but to an event bus instead). View Model publishes change events to the event bus, and business-component reacts to these events by executing the business logic.
