Rust, positioned as a fast systems programming language immune to most crashes, has moved to a feature-complete 1.0 alpha release stage.
A blog post on Rust late last week from the Rust Core Team described the alpha release as a "huge milestone" for the language, which has been a Mozilla Research project. "While we plan to make many usability improvements before the final release," the post says. "All 1.0 language features are now in place, and we do not expect major breaking changes to them."
