Rust Programming Language Reaches 1.0 Alpha

Posted by Soulskill on from the onward-and-upward dept.

c0d3g33k writes: Rust, a new a systems programming language with a focus on safety, performance and concurrency, has released the 1.0 alpha version of the language. This means that the language and core libraries are feature-complete for the 1.0 release. In practical terms, this means that the rate of change experienced by early adopters will slow down dramatically and major breaking changes should be very rare (during the alpha cycle some major changes may still occur if considered necessary). The language will stabilize further when the beta stage is reached (planned for six weeks from now).

    Rust? Programmers often choose self-defeating names. Imagine going to a top manager and saying you want to program a product in Rust.

    What are some of the others? Gimp is one. GNU. LaTeX is written in both English and Greek letters. There is nothing "regular" about Regular Expressions.
