Building and open-sourcing Bolts, a mobile developer tools library

What this post added

This post introduces and explains Bolts, an open-source library of mobile developer tools from Parse + Facebook, with a focus on its 'Tasks' component. It details the challenges of asynchronous programming using analogies and explains how Tasks (similar to Promises) offer a more manageable and robust solution compared to traditional callbacks, particularly in Objective-C development by mitigating retain cycles and improving error propagation. This contributes to Meta's broader effort in providing advanced developer tools and promoting open-source contributions.
