Do you know what alpha means? or were you just wanting to talk about go?

  > Do you know what alpha means? Precisely†. This is just to give some credence to the "mature" part of the parent comment, beyond language features and alleged "proven-ness". I'm not complaining in any way, just reporting how things are or can be perceived. The comparison with Go is purely factual: I just happen to have done exactly this in Go, and recollected an account of my experience when I wanted to explore doing the same thing in Rust. If referencing Go has to do with anything, it's laziness as I extracted that from my shell history. I am deeply sorry if the above post sounded snarky or whatever. This was not the intent. † BTW, when I did this originally, Rust was 0.9 (no alpha anywhere), which has the virtue of saying squat about what you should expect without a statement of version semantics (e.g node.js is 0.12 and definitely production-ready)

According to the semver specification, any releases with a major version of zero carry no guarantees whatsoever.
