A second component is that statics require const initializers, so for most of rust’s history if you wanted a non-trivial global it was either a lot of faffing about or using third party packages (lazy_static, once_cell). Since 1.80 the vast

That is correct. Kinda. Refcell can not work because Rust considers globals to be shared by multiple threads so requires thread safety. And that’s where a number of people blow a gasket.

Even in building and electrical, just because B is better than A does not mean it’s allowed. IIRC the first wago parts (221) were UL-listed in 2017, the 221 were released in 2014, and the original push-lever splices (the 222) were released

No. It’s not a property of the type so you can have multiple items under a mutex and you’re not at the mercy of whoever wrote it, it works fine with POD types, it does not force a lock / unlock on each method call (instead the compiler

OP is really tying themselves into knots. Symbols are special cased pseudo-strings for langages which have either extremely inefficient strings (erlang) or mutable ones (ruby). That’s about the extent of it. Python or Java don’t really have
