So, I decided on three locking strategies:
No-Lock
Optimistic locking
Pessimistic locking
As a default, the no-lock behavior does exactly what the name implies. Nothing. This is the default because my research shows that for 99% all of this is not an issue and every interaction at this level will slow down the whole application.
Aren't the mutexes in the more modern implementations (like Cosmo [0]) & runtimes (like Go [1]) already optimized so applications can use mutexes fearlessly? replies(1):
