That's not really true. Data races are possible in Java.

Data races are possible on some types, specifically `long` when not declared as `volatile` - but these do not directly cause memory unsafety.

  • Not just some types - any object with members. Shared references are a thing in Java and if not careful can cause data races left and right.

    Rust controls that quite a bit.
