It's not so much the rate of change, but maybe just how much stuff is missing that has to be supplemented by bringing in C libraries, which is totally OK. Rust

It's not so much the rate of change, but maybe just how much stuff is missing that has to be supplemented by bringing in C libraries, which is totally OK. Rust is going to take a long time to mature, much longer than Go for example, because the project is maybe more ambitious and doesn't have a Rob Pike or a Brad Fitzgerald supporting it and a giant Google behind it. The risk is that it could flounder without critical support, but Mozilla seems to be committed to it. I hope it does well.

It was also announced at an earlier part of the maturation cycle than Go was, due to Mozilla's 'everything is all open source all the time' nature.

Plus, unlike Go, they go for an iterative refinement and design, and don't settle for the first BS implementation that comes to their mind.
