Once Rust is stable, it would be really cool to see these rewritten in Rust.

No need to wait! :) https://github.com/uutils/coreutils https://github.com/uutils/coreutils

  There's still findutils, inetutils, binutils and other collections part of the GNU base system, though. The core daemons are all separate projects, as well.

By the time Rust is stable, there will be something cooler. And so on, and so on...

  Why wait for rust to be stable for something cooler? Haskell is already here :)

When will it be that Rust is stable? Many moon ago I was of the told that December of 2014 would be the calendar date of the Rust stable version. Yet December is now and I see no Rust stable version. When come it? When?

  Release candidate around the end of the year. See http://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/10/30/Stability.html http://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/10/30/Stability.html and http://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/09/15/Rust-1.0.html http://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/09/15/Rust-1.0.html for more details.

    If the release candidates are a few weeks out then it must be beta and very close to stable? Can anyone who's using Rust daily discuss performance and reliability. It should be ready for weekend projects.

      Weekend projects certainly, but I'd still off from doing anything super serious because there are still a few breaking changes waiting in the wings (such as the finishing touches on closure reform), as well as a few potential last-minute syntax tweaks that are still being considered (though if accepted those should be trivial enough to migrate via an automated tool).

      They have 31 blocking issues to take care of before 1.0 is a possibility: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/milestones/1.0 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/milestones/1.0 The project has 2,100 open issues and 8,500 closed issues. The stability more or less comes down to the community moving away from targeting nightly, and that can only happen when all of the fires are put out. There are still a lot of breaking changes and clean-up being done in the final hour. Some people consider stable to mean that the language is "production ready", which often implies a complete set of common libraries. There is still a lot of work to be done in this regard after 1.0. Doing the nightly build whack-a-mole is too frustrating for many, though, so 1.0 will help a lot for developing the ecosystem that a "public ready" language needs.

        I recommend looking at "This week in" blog and the RFC's also, to form your own opinion of stability http://this-week-in-rust.org/ http://this-week-in-rust.org/ https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs#active-rfc-list https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs#active-rfc-list __________________________ discussion re: stdlib and 1.0 https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/2mo0zb/the_race_towards_10_and_the_standard_library/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/2mo0zb/the_race_towar...

  It's coming just after Perl 6.
