The only way I can make this make sense, is having cross-platform abstraction around atomic orderings etc. (like the new C++11 std::atomics) that works on x86 and ARM and PowerPC etc.

Rust has such a cross-platform abstraction, almost identical to C++11: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/atomic/index.html
Please be more specific about what exactly you mean if I am wrong.
