I found that a lot of the problems I had been having with mutexes, stem from the fact that traditionally the mutex and the data it protects are separate. Bolting them together, like Rust's Mutex<T> does, solves a lot these problems. It let's you write normal, synchronous code and leave the locking up to the caller, but without making it a nightmare. You can't even access the data without locking the mutex.

This isn't an attack on the (very well written) article though. Just wanted to add my two cents.
