OTOH, it's looks about the same as in Java and even Java now has explicit Locks, because "synchronized" simply isn't efficient
I suppose if using Futex (in Linux) or an implementation of a user space
Mutex in the RTL (using a bus locked read-modify write instruction and
do a system call only when the resource is taken by another thread)
needs close to no CPU time.
