Go's race detector has a mutex blind spot

Small correction: The Arc is for sharing across threads, the Mutex is for mutation. But you are generally correct that they can be used independently.

Of course. But if you’re using a channel then it hides the inner constructs.

Comparing writing a web service in Go and rust you would likely also utilize Tokio which has a wide variety of well designed sync primitives.
