I love rust, but we have not yet finalized the syntax and the semantics yet, so it'd be risky to write mission critical things in it. Our plan is to hit 1.0 by the end of the year. That said, rust has been written in rust, and every commit is tested against our test suite on Linux, OS X, BSD, and Windows. So while the language itself may be changing, any code you write in it at a given point in time should work. It'll just take some (small) effort to keep that code in sync with the compiler. So if you are able to handle that risk, we'd love to have you try it out. It'd really help us find the warts in the language/stdlib before we lock in 1.0.
