If we ignore the unnecessary heat of the comment for a moment, there's an interesting developer experience misunderstanding in there. It may even be enough to just change the wording -- instead of "unstable", "proposed"? (Might sound too tentative.)
- Manishearth 10y agoI like this. Perhaps "Proposed, nightly-only" would be even clearer?
- steveklabnik 10y agoYeah, totally. This would make for a very interesting RFC. (There's also always been a disconnect between naming in this regard; that is, you can only use "unstable" things on the "nightly" build of Rust. And while we try to produce a nightly every night, it doesn't always happen, as these last few weeks have shown. That is changing, at least. But "proposed Rust" sounds stranger than "nightly Rust", so this disconnect might persist even if we decided to change "unstable" to "proposed". Side note: Ember and IIRC Chrome call their nightly versions "canary"...)
