On: Lock-Free Rust: Crossbeam in 2019

Excellent! Crossbeam is for concurrent programming.

Crossbeam provides lock-free data structures (e.g. ArrayQueues), thread synchronization (e.g. ShardedLock), memory sharing (e.g. AtomicCell), and utilties (e.g. Backoff).

Thank you to the author and team! Next I am very much looking forward to a Crossbeam implementation of the LMAX Disruptor ring queue: https://lmax-exchange.github.io/disruptor/

LMAX? Really? Did you get LMAX to work well? I never did.

More specifically, I mean a Rust ring buffer data structure, implemented by using Crossbeam tooling, and sized to fit into CPU cache.
