This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Only in the context of data within the rust code. If you're writing threaded rust that interfaces with external IO, for example, you can still get bit by a race condition. A person can absolutely be shit enough to hit a race condition in rust.

interfaces with external IO

How would you run into a race condition like this with safe Rust? You can't share mutable file handles between threads for example. I'm not sure you're correct in saying its still possible. Even if it is, it doesn't sound easy.
