One year since stable? It feels like five years for the level of maturity they have achieved.

Except the tooling, could be better. A language like Rust will benefit from a rich IDE a lot.

But still the language is great.

Rust has been in development for almost a decade at this point; but the language changed significantly many times before 1.0. It's been one year since the 1.0 release, which is the language we know today as "Rust". All those older languages are dead and gone now.

I'm actually doing a talk about the ACM's Applicative conference in NYC this year talking about the history of Rust.

With this speed of development, I'm pretty sure it is coming.

I'd say the tooling is pretty great only with the exception of an IDE. Debugging, building, testing, packaging all seems pretty well handled.

I really wish that Jetbrains had a Rust IDE. I love their Go, and Erlang plugins for IntelliJ, Java with IntelliJ, and Clion with C. Without them, I don't think I could be anywhere as effective as I am.

I tried to pickup Rust, but I was super frustrated by the code/compile/run cycle with the current plugin. But, hopefully more users will make that better.
