  • AsyncStream converts callback or delegate-based event sources into an AsyncSequence you can iterate over with for await.
  • The library removes cipher-level mistakes but not key-management or operational ones, and those are where real integrations fail.
  • Secure Session is Themis's stateful encrypted channel: peers perform a handshake, derive ephemeral session keys, and then exchange messages with forward secrecy over any transport you supply.
  • Breakpoints pause execution so you can inspect state.

Answer: AsyncStream converts callback or delegate-based event sources into an AsyncSequence you can iterate over with for await. It bridges event-driven code into structured concurrency.

Code Example:

// Wrapping a delegate/callback pattern into AsyncStream
func locationUpdates() -> AsyncStream<CLLocation> {
    AsyncStream { continuation in
        let manager = CLLocationManager()
        let delegate = LocationDelegate { location in
            continuation.yield(location)     // emit each update
        }
        manager.delegate = delegate
        manager.startUpdatingLocation()

        continuation.onTermination = { _ in
            manager.stopUpdatingLocation()   // cleanup on cancel
        }
    }
}

// Consuming it cleanly with for await
Task {
    for await location in locationUpdates() {
        print("New location: \(location.coordinate)")
    }
}

Use for: Location updates, WebSocket messages, notifications, sensor data, any ongoing event stream.
