Rust sometimes seems like the antithesis to BDFL. I quite like that they experiment, but I'm wondering how this will work out post 1.0.
- CUViper 12y agoThe whole point of 1.0 is that they won't experiment like this anymore. They're using the freedom to break things now with the promise to lock it down later. I'm sure there will still be some experimentation, but the core language should be stable.
- jeffdavis 12y agoOne thing rust has going for it is a very clear vision (safety, control, speed), which is based on fundamental concepts (e.g. lifetimes). Consequently, it has less of a need for a BDFL to declare what is or is not rust-ific.
