> Overall it seems like the authors are weirdly both quite competent and very incompetent

This is an unusually hostile take.

The authors comment about address instability is only a minor point in the article:

> happylock also sorts locks by memory address, which is not stable across Vec reallocations or moves.

…specifically with regard to happylock, which has a bunch of commentary on it (1) around the design.

You're asserting this is a problem that doesn't exist in general, or specifically saying the author doesn't know what they're talking about with regard to happylock and vecs?

Anyway, saying they're not competent feels like a childish slap.

This is a well written article about a well written library.

Its easy to make a comment like this without doing any research or actually understanding whats been done, responding to the title instead of the article.

Specifically in this regard, why do you believe the approach taken here to overcome the limitations of happylock has not been done correctly?
