A good way to stay up-to-date is always This Week In Rust, or /r/rust.
- wc- 12y agoI know rust is pre-1.0 but wow that's a lot more breaking changes than I expected...
- steveklabnik 12y agoThe rate of change slowed, but then, as we get closer to 1.0, the rate of change has sped back up again. We need to break as many things as possible as soon as possible, so that we can give the community some time to try it out before we christen a 1.0 release. Does that make sense?
- higherpurpose 12y agoSeems to me like you need at least a year before beginning to think about releasing 1.0.
- steveklabnik 12y agoNaw. The language itself is getting smaller and smaller over time. Most breaking changes these days (though not all!) are in libraries, which have individual stability markers, and the stability of the standard library doesn't block 1.0. A year is a very, very, very long time in software. Why do you suggest that long? I'm curious.
- andrewflnr 12y agoPossibly so of you break something in a bad way, you have time to find out, break it again, and then make sure that change is a good one.
