In general, yes. Data types in Rust can allow themselves to be accessed by multiple threads and define the semantics of how that happens. There are several ways in which data can be shared between threads, and all of them are safe. These include sending a value on a channel or accessing it via a mutex (mutex's in rust take ownership of the value, so you send the mutex and can only access the value through that so you can't forget to lock/unlock it), implementing Copy semantics, etc. This is an old, but still valid, blog post on the topic of concurrency in Rust: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/04/10/Fearless-Concurrency.html —Sam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
