Rust still isn't 1.0. In fact to even use basic syntax such as selecting a range of a slice you need to specify that you are using not yet supported features.

I love the concept of rust, but trying to write a trivial program in it was a pain in the ass.
- Roboprog 12y agoThanks for the tip. Everything I read about Rust sounds really good, BUT, I've yet to download it and write Hello World, so not sure how painful it is in practice.
- keeperofdakeys 12y agoIt's not painful, the problem is that the code you write now might change in a month. With the release of 1.0 (which is less than six months IIRC), they will stabilize the syntax (but will be adding more down the line). But the libraries will still be very much in flux. The reason things have been changing so much is mainly to get a better language now, and not have to write a 2.0 that changes everything. When you look at rust code from six months ago, things have improved greatly, so it will hopefully be worth it.
