What do you expect? They aren't ready. I'm following the development of Rust with much interest. The design seems well-thought out, and occasional comments here by 'pcwalton, usually along the lines of “here's how we're trying to solve this problem in Rust”, are always worth a read. I wouldn't start a project in it, however, for at least another year unless my main goal was to experiment with the language. When I did play with it a little, I indeed ran into problems with out-of-date documentation, but someone in #rust IRC (I think it was 'brson) very helpfully answered my questions and pointed me to some newer docs. Perhaps your expectations are unrealistic. If you want a language you can use today for a real project, try Clojure or Go. I don't think you can fault the Rust project for being where they are now and communicating honestly.
