It’s hard to see how you could be arguing in good faith given that your point of “fearless concurrency” being an overstated “sales pitch” has now been answered with multiple substantive answers.

Please stop moving the goal posts from “program concurrency” to “distributed or multi-process transactions.” It subtracts from the conversation.

Rust is honest about what it does and doesn’t do.

I am not moving goal posts, rather talking about issues that many apparently lack the knowledge to understand how many variants of data races exist in an application.

Quite understanable given the majority of developers that keep writing single threaded applications.

The fearless concurrency sales pitch doesn't overpromise. You're trying to stretch it, but it's pretty clear on what kind of concurrency issues it covers (eg. data races).

Yeah it would be a grave misinterpretation of "fearless concurrency" to think Rust somehow validates that access to some shared resource with it's own semantics is also safe. I'm not educated on the subject but that problem seems pretty intractable for a language to solve in a general sense.

Indeed, yet that is not how many Rust advocacy blog posts sell it.

Such as?

Any blog post that gives examples accessing shared variables and never goes beyond anything else, leaving to the reader that it works the same way regardless of what resources are being accessed.

Now rewrite the same blog post using SQL queries to update the same counter variable on a table row.

The Rustonomicon is quite clear that it wouldn't work,

You really had to dig a post that has less text than code?

If that's how readers envision that non-language-managed resources work, they should go back to CS102 right now.

And concerning the nomicon, it explicitly states that Rust can't handle all races condition, I don't get your point.
