## What it is
A curated awesome-list of resources on wait-free and lock-free programming, including libraries, papers, books, blogs, and websites. It serves as a reference index for developers learning or implementing non-blocking concurrent algorithms.

## Use cases
- find lock-free data structure libraries for C++ or Rust
- learn about non-blocking algorithms and memory models
- find papers on lock-free concurrency
- compare concurrent queue implementations like MPMC and SPSC
- find books on multiprocessor programming
- learn about RCU and seqlock techniques

## When to choose
- you need a starting point for learning lock-free programming
- you want a curated index of concurrency libraries and literature
- you are researching non-blocking data structures

## When to avoid
- you need a ready-to-use lock-free library rather than a resource list
- you need beginner-friendly sequential programming tutorials

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: concurrency, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, performance
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, lock-free, wait-free, concurrent-programming, atomics, memory-model, cpp, rust, algorithms
