Venice is a Swift library providing coroutines, structured concurrency, and CSP-style channels, built on a fork of the C library libdill. It supports coroutine cancelation, coroutine groups, send/receive-only channels, and file descriptor polling on macOS and Linux.

Use cases

  • write structured concurrent code in Swift
  • use lightweight coroutines instead of threads in Swift
  • communicate between concurrent tasks with CSP channels
  • cancel long-running coroutines safely
  • build non-blocking server-side Swift applications

When to choose

  • you need structured concurrency or CSP channels in Swift on macOS or Linux
  • you want lightweight green threads with cancelation semantics

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained library - the latest release is from 2019
  • you're targeting Apple platforms with modern Swift concurrency (async/await)
  • you can't install the required libdill C dependency
