lib.rs:

A crate for things that are

  1. Lazily initialized
  2. Expensive to create
  3. Immutable after creation
  4. Used on multiple threads

Lazy<T> is better than Mutex<Option<T>> because after creation accessing T does not require any locking, just a single boolean load with Ordering::Acquire (which on x86 is just a compiler barrier, not an actual memory barrier).

No runtime deps
