Rust library for single assignment cells and lazy statics without macros
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer

Contributions summary:Daniel contributed extensively to the `once_cell` Rust library, focusing on extending its API to include mutable access and initialization methods. Their work involved implementing and testing features like `try_insert_mut`, `get_mut_or_init`, `get_mut_or_try_init`, and `force_mut`, and `get_mut` for `sync` and `unsync` `OnceCell` and `Lazy` types. These additions provide developers with more flexibility and control when working with single assignment cells and lazy statics in concurrent environments.
