FWIW the language is only nearning 1.0 in that 0.9 > 0.8. 0.9 is by no means the final pre-1.0 release.

This conversation resurfaces every time a project gets to x.10 version number, e.g. KDE SC 4.10. Considering even HN audience which are mostly programmers find this versioning scheme confusing, I wish we have had settled on another identifier to separate minor and major version numbers. Something that didn't have a mathematical meaning. I personally like : and ::

One could use the pretty standard tuple notation: Rust (0, 9), KDE SC (4, 10). It's pretty common to represent version numbers in ways not dissimilar from that internally…

Ah, good point!

And this is Mozilla. They are used to putting out releases often. Firefox Nightly is at version 30.0 :)
