I mean just like it reads: I want two (or more) threads to write the same memory at the same time. This is a problem Java "solved"/"worked around" with a comple

  My understanding is that Rust is basically equivalent to C in this regard, in terms of concurrent writes to the same memory being per se undefined behavior. I think the JVM translates concurrent memory writes into hardware-appropriate atomics, so maybe a better translation from Java to Rust would be a large `Vec<AtomicUsize>` or something like that, rather than raw memory?

  you can use whatever synchronization techniques you want, from lock free data structures/queues, to mutexes, to unadulterated unsafe reads/writes to raw pointers. std provides some useful helpers like Arc and Mutex (Arc<Mutex<Type>> is always safe to use across threads, as the lifetime is managed safely by Arc and accesses handled by Mutex). There are crates out there for things like lock free sync and other GC if you need it. Rust doesn't force you into a single world view.
