rustHow to clone a thread in Rust?

Cloning a thread in Rust is done using the thread::spawn method. This method takes a closure as an argument and returns a JoinHandle which can be used to join the thread.

let handle = thread::spawn(|| {
    println!("Hello from a thread!");
});

The code above will create a new thread and execute the closure passed to thread::spawn. The handle variable will contain a JoinHandle which can be used to join the thread.

Code explanation

1. thread::spawn - method used to create a new thread
2. Closure - argument passed to thread::spawn which will be executed in the new thread
3. JoinHandle - returned by thread::spawn which can be used to join the thread
