- bpicolo 10y agoWasn't released to public at all until late 2009.
- jimktrains2 10y agoIt only became stable in mid-2015. https://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/05/15/Rust-1.0.html https://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/05/15/Rust-1.0.html
- NateDad 10y agoComparing 1.0's is a much better comparison, except in cases where there was huge adoption before 1.0.
- jimktrains2 10y agoI wouldn't say rust was hugely adopted before 1.0 (not that it's hugely adopted after, either).
- NateDad 10y agoYes, sorry, wasn't saying that either Go or Rust were an exception, just trying to forestall the inevitable "but what about X thing that was used by everyone and is still 0.9" :) For Go vs. Rust, I think a comparison of 1.0 releases is perfect.
- stymaar 10y agoI think gp meant that for some platforms it can make sense to count even 0.x releases (nodejs is the best example I think), even though for most it doesn't (including Rust and Go).
- f2f 10y agoGo was announced to the world on November 10th, 2009.
