"What's not stable is everything around the core ideas. Many things are in flight at the moment in anticipation of 1.0 stability. The core collection libraries had a major refactor land last night. How error handling works got changed earlier this week."

Huh? I'm seeing comments in this thread about people using Rust right now in production. How... why... what?!?



There are two big deployments and some smaller ones. The two big ones are OpenDNS and Skylight.io.

We don't recommend it currently, but some people are just eager. :)


I would venture to guess that those organizations feel that the pains of working with a prototype is worth the payoff of shaping the final product (not to mention the immediate advantages of rust's already stable safety features).


Yup. I know much more about Skylight's case, but this is exactly true.


Some people like to live dangerously.
