Nice to see work being done towards deadlock safe mutexes (crates.io)

A saw this on Mastodon, and found it interesting. Rust already prevents a lot of race conditions, but deadlocks when using a mutex is still possible (and I have actually had one myself, though I caught it during testing). So, it would be nice if it would be possible to catch these cases at compile time. Now, seems to be just a proof of concept, but it is always nice to see the direction people are going and what areas are explored.
