Rust editions should take care of that. They currently claim they will support previous editions forever. Which is obviously silly, but hopefully ends up at least as good as GCC is at supporting old code.
- steveklabnik 2y agoIt may sound obviously silly, but if you know how the edition system works, it’s not. Most things land in all editions, the only things that are edition specific are the “breaking” changes, and those have such limited scope that it’s not difficult to support all of them.
- estebank 2y agoIirc when I checked there were about ~25 if checks per edition on the compiler. I feel like we can go for a while at that rate without it being a big maintenance burden.
- steveklabnik 2y agoNice, yeah that's not too bad at all.
