Pretty nice! I mostly used Rust Nightly till now. The language, the ecosystem, etc. seems really mature now. I've been following language development for a while now. I've never seen something that is really a new language and is that far before 1.0 or in such a short time.
The language developed rapidly, without sacrificing reinventing things, changing opinions a lot. I am not sure how they did that, but it's really impressive. Usually languages lack documentation, stability, performance, etc., have lots of rough edges, no users or libraries, but none of that is true for Rust.
I am really curious about how this was achieved. Maybe someone involved could describe how that was possible. I am sure I'm not the only one interested in this.
A year ago there was an article about using Rust for an undergraduate class on operating system development. Rust was 0.7 back then and very different and way more mature.
