But it's just recently hit 1.0 As an alpha only. It's still much too unstable to be able to do anything serious with it.

  > As an alpha only. It's still much too unstable to be able to do anything serious with it. No, it's powerful today. I'm writing 'serious' code with it. Just don't write production code with it because your code will have to do a LOT of maintenance to keep up with HEAD.

    Yehuda Katz uses it for production code for skylight.io, he's also a core Rust contributor though.

      Yehuda was invited to be a core team member because of his use of Rust in skylight.io, not the other way around. At this point, anyone who's seriously using Rust as a fundamental component of their company is probably eligible for core team membership. :P

    marrs is correct, about the label: we call the current Rust release 1.0.0-alpha2. 1.0.0-beta will be coming out soon and the true 1.0.0 after that. http://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/02/13/Final-1.0-timeline.html http://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/02/13/Final-1.0-timeline.html

    Perhaps I should have been clearer: don't do anything serious with it if you have a deadline to meet.
