There is a very special fun in learning Rust. It isn't stable in the sense that your code from last week will compile this week. On the other hand, it is currently stable enough that all the major concepts are there and most changes are either syntax or API. So reading up on the changes of last week and some search and replace cover most things. Also, most API changes now are introduced through deprecations. All breaking language changes have an RFC process.
The great thing is to see a language while it is still being shaped. Have something you don't like or something that is incredibly clunky? Get involved! The barrier will never be lower. Backwards compatibility is not a thing yet! If the change makes sense and you can muster the resources for it, there is no one holding you back. Code review for pull requests is also awesome, all of my pull requests were accepted on the second or the third try - but for the better!
On top of that, it is a really interesting language on it's own right with interesting concepts worth learning.
