Are there any solid articles on good use cases for actors? Given how they work, reentrancy, impossibility of sync blocking calls to async functions, etc, I’ve been having a real hard time trying to find a good use case, especially in a pre-existing code base. The f…riendly swift concurrency article hints at actors being services that process data. What about mutable data objects? Shouldn’t they be actors as well?
