Nice.

Rust is nice language btw.

But,when will stable version of Rust be released? By stable,i mean, number of new features added must not be too much. Rust currently seem to be adding too many features every release (which is nice but also not so good at same time)

What is "too much"? How many would you prefer? How does this release have too many features? This release has three, and they're all pretty small. Some could even argue that they may not even count as new features, but remove restrictions between combinations of existing features.

By that measure, both Java and JavaScript are highly unstable programming languages.

Don't forget C, after all `C2x` is coming...

[johnsoft]

By this logic, languages are never "stable" until after they die

It sounds like your definition of stable applies to a very limited set of programming languages. The only thing I can think of that would fit that definition is C.

Have you seen how many new features have been added to C++20? (which is probably the closest language to Rust) Not to mention any of the dynamically typed languages.

Elixir is stable in that sense as well. Which IMO is very nice as I don't feel I have to relearn the language if I leave for 2 years, and I have to rewrite a 2 years old project to make use of any new idiom and syntax sugar.

why ? do they charge you by the feature ?

[hu3]

in terms of cognitive load, yes

[jcelerier]

i have yet to understand that feeling

We don't code in a vacuum.

Reading third party code is part of the job so language features reach us regardless.
