I have finally bitten the bullet and learned Rust in the last few months and ended up really liking it, but I have to admit that it's a bit lower level than I generally work in.
I have generally avoided locks by making very liberal use of Tokio channels, though that isn't for performance reasons or anything: I just find locks really hard to reason about for anything but extremely trivial usecases, and channels are a more natural abstraction for me.
I've never really considered what goes into these lock-free structures, but that might be one of my next "unemployment projects" after I finish my current one.
