It feels like Rust is now 'stable'. Are there any major language related things in the pipeline?

Async/await is probably the next "big" feature.

^ this.

The biggest one in the near future is async/await; you’ll see the precursors land in the next few releases. There will also be a blog post soon outplaying overall plans for the year, but const generics, GATs, and specialization are the likely big-ticket items.

In general, this year of Rust will be about governance refactoring, finishing off long-desired features like the ones above, and general polish. There isn’t a lot of big plans for big new things coming anytime soon, more of finishing what we’ve started and improving what we have.

Such a boring release. That's why I love Rust.

For me the best releases will be when it matches D/Delphi/Ada/Eiffel/.NET Native compile times and cargo supports binary dependencies.

The language as such is already quite good, in spite of one or other possible improvements on borrow checker ergonomics (e.g. callbacks).

Binary deps are on the Cargo team’s plans for the year, and compile times are always a focus. Working on it!
