Emphasis mine.
- maxbond 2y agoYou're quoting a post from 2014, before Rust released 1.0. Of course the pace of changes was going to accelerate. I don't think it's fair to present that as if it were a current forward-looking statement from the Rust project. And of course it will slow down over time. Rust and it's ecosystem are much more stable now, ten years later and 80 releases after 1.0.

- quectophoton 2y agoI got that from https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/index.html https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/index.html, the second link in the first paragraph.
- maxbond 2y agoAlright. I can see how that might be confusing. To my eye, they are linking to that page because it documents how they intend to approach releases and editions. Not to indicate that they expect the pace of change to monotonically increase into the perpetual future.
