Rust 1.0 was in May 2015. No one's saying 2016 was a dark age, but the language has been moving quite fast since then. Even fundamental concepts like error handling have seen a major generation or two go by in that time (e.g. error-chain and failure). Many libraries from 2016 are still going strong, but a Rust library that hasn't gotten a commit in a couple years is much deader than the C++ equivalent.
