Unlike the Go spec that's prose only. Why is it not accurate? Does the language change that often?

- steveklabnik 10y agoIf you're talking about grammar, that's in a different document. > Why is it not accurate? I said it _was_ accurate. It's just not neccesarily complete. It's not complete because I'm only one human, and I have more important work to do.
- themihai 10y agoThat's understandable. I've just tried to prove the point that Rust is still a language in flux compared with Go, hopefully making the Rust team aware why some developers hesitate to use Rust on new projects.
- steveklabnik 10y agoI disagree, but I doubt that we're going to agree, so this is where I will step out.

That's not what I've seen from your comments. Instead I've seen some confused arguments about what "prose only" means (anyone in the PL field would consider both Rust and Go's documentation "prose"), combined with incorrect statements about both Rust and Go and a completely baseless assertion that Rust is "a language in flux".
