One of the advantages of rust is its ability to segregate safe-to-share (between concurrent contexts) and not so, at compile time.

While it can’t (yet?) be generic over them, it lets you use the non-atomic Rc in thread-bound structures and know this is never going to be shared between threads, whereas the more expensive Arc can have handles be moved from one thread to an other.

Counterparts for Rc [1] and Arc [2] (and compiler enforcement of their safe use [3]) are available in C++, though not standard.
