Initialiser functions in actors?

[ibex10]

@realityworks

private func configureTextUpdateContinuation() {
     var localContinuation: AsyncStream<String>.Continuation?
     textUpdates = AsyncStream { continuation in
          localContinuation = continuation
     }
        
     textUpdateContinuation = localContinuation
}

Does not answer your question, but you can simplify that code:

private func configureTextUpdateContinuation() {
   let u = AsyncStream<String>.makeStream ()
   self.textUpdates = u.stream
   self.textUpdateContinuation = u.continuation
}

Edit:
Also, instead of calling an instance method:

@realityworks

init() {
   ...
   configureTextUpdateContinuation()
   ...

initialisation of those two variables can be done directly in the init:

init() {
   ...        
   let u = AsyncStream<String>.makeStream ()
   self.textUpdates = u.stream
   self.textUpdateContinuation = u.continuation
   ...
