When it comes to the Rust tutorials, documentation and code that do already exist, a lot of the information is now very misleading.
This may even be more harmful than no documentation at all, especially for people new to the language.
While this is an issue for other languages, I've found it to be far more severe with Rust.
- pcwalton 13y agoOther languages went through a lot of change too. They just did it behind closed doors. We could have done our development behind closed doors too so you wouldn't see all the churn, but that's not the way we work at Mozilla. Furthermore, Rust is quite ambitious. Getting lifetimes and the borrow check to work right is hard and involved research in all senses of the word; read the borrow check source code sometime. We did not just change things because we felt like it.
