Has rust even been stable for six months.


Six weeks.


Yep, May 15. I like Rust, I'm slowly starting to port some of my code to it, but the amount of pre-1.0 hype it's received on HN is crazy. There's a ton of outdated information hanging around Google, there's a lot of lacking documentation, and there are still many many features which are not fully baked yet.

Relax. Give it some time. Unless if you've written a gigantic widely-used project in Rust, you probably shouldn't be telling other people to go do that at this point.
