what does the term "nightly" mean in this context?
- seanhunter 2y agoRust has “nightly” and “stable” toolchain variants called “release channels”. The “nightly” version is literally just the compiler and all the other tools built in the CI/CD pipeline on a nightly basis with the latest branch including various features that need further development before they go to stable. The process and reasoning are described here https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html
- camdenreslink 2y agoIt is the version of rust that is under active development, and also contains experimental features that aren’t in the “stable” rust compiler.
