So it's not free of said features and you have to use nightly?
>What features do you rely on?
Several of these highlighted here:https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/02/19/2023-Rust-Annual-Survey-2023-results.html https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/02/19/2023-Rust-Annual-Surve...
Something like 30% of users were on nightly a few years ago. Not sure if that's still true, but it is for me.
- steveklabnik 2y agoYes, for that OS we’re using asm_const, which is almost stable, naked functions, and used_with_arg, which is linker related. We also use array_methods but that could be polyfilled, if the other three were stable.
- pornel 2y agocrates.io sees about 13% of requests from nightly compilers, although that may be biased by CI tests that just check for future compatibility rather than needing nightly features. https://lib.rs/stats#rustc-usage https://lib.rs/stats#rustc-usage For application development nightly hasn't been necessary for many years now. Places where people use nightly are increasingly just nice to haves and small optimizations.
