Are Swift variables atomic?

Question

In Objective-C you have a distinction between atomic and nonatomic properties:

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSObject *nonatomicObject;
@property (atomic, st         


        

Answer 1

It is probably to early to answer this question. Currently swift lacks access modifiers, so there is not obvious way to add code which manages concurrency around a properties getter / setter. Furthermore, the Swift Language doesn't seem to have any information about concurrency yet! (It also lacks KVO etc ...)

I think the answer to this question will become clear in future releases.
