+// 
+// **Exercise 15.2**: Rather than panicking in case the lock is poisoned, we can use `into_innter` on the error to recover
+// the data inside the lock. Change the code above to do that. Try using `unwrap_or_else` for this job.

+
+// **Exercise 15.3**:  Change the code above to use `RwLock`, such that multiple calls to `get` can be executed at the same time.
