Contradiction in section 7.11

Author: xiorcaleCreated Jun 8, 2025Updated Jun 15, 2026

In section 7.11 Locks, Send and Arc, it seems that the text contradict itself. First in the section "Who holds the lock?" it says:

We can't send a Mutex over a channel, because Mutex is not Clone

However, a bit below in the section "Our challenges", it says:

We can send a Mutex over a channel because it's Send

That's confusing and I'm not sure if we can send a mutex over a channel or not after all.
