Yes, this is a big deal. I tried looking into Rust a couple of months ago, but the speed of change meant that blog posts and tutorials from just weeks before were sometimes completely broken.
Getting to 1.0 means that the ecosystem has a chance to grow properly which means "lesser" coders such as myself have a chance to learn and get involved.
- jacquesm 12y agoTutorials should at a minimum be dated and if possible include the version of rust used when making the tutorial.

Tutorials got out of date so quickly it was hard to get a foothold when trying to learn. The evolution is important and I don't want to seem like I'm saying it shouldn't have been done the way it was, it was very well managed from what I saw from keeping an eye on the project. I am just happy that it will now be stable letting the ecosystem grow and feed off itself.
