Currently the project fails to build with the following error:
> error[E0554]: `#![feature]` may not be used on the stable release channel
This might not be exactly due to Rust, but only a personal choice made by the project's authors. However, lack of stability does not bode well for the project's longevity and adoption rate.
- prohobo 6y agoFrom what I understand, that might just be a problem with the README. You might have to set your compiler to enable experimental feature flags (thus setup a different compilation channel).
- wolco 6y agoI think the point was if #feature is using the experimental channel and not the stable channel memory stability wasn't as important to the project as it was to him.
- untog 6y agoThat’s quite the stretch. Rust’s unstable branch isn’t a total Wild West, it’s just for new features that aren’t ready for stable yet. If you’re not expecting version 1.0 for quite some time it isn’t a problem to use an unstable channel.
- Ar-Curunir 6y agothat feature doesn't even affect memory safety, and is purely for improved ergonomics. It can be removed without affecting the code.
