Rust 1.0: Thinner, Faster Mutexes on Linux
Up next, we have thinner, faster mutexes on Linux. And so this is actually a pretty involved one under the hood. So basically, as of Rust 1.0, the idea was that Rust's own sort of library types on Linux were based on the pthread primitives. As of this release, now there are Rust versions of those and they're called native mutexes.
Jon and Ben discuss the highlights of the 1.62, 1.63, and 1.64 releases of Rust.
