COME ON!!! I literally JUST finished downloading and reading the docs for rust 0.1 an hour ago. I mean a new version is cool, but could it have come a day earlier?
So many interesting languages, so little time :(

#12So the garbage collection is optional? That's cool.
Re: Rust 0.2 released
#13Rust seems very similar to Go. Anyone looked at/played with both enough to offer some wisdom on the pros/cons of each language?
Re: Rust 0.2 released
#14I don't have a lot of experience with systems programming but want to play around with Rust.
Would the best route be to learn C then move onto the untread waters of Rust? I'm just looking for some guidance, this seems really cool to learn.

It makes fewer compromises than Go. It'd be more appropriate for concurrent, high performance systems projects, whereas Go is a way to rapid-dev high(er) performance networked services.

Just learn C.

What sorts of compromises does Go make (that Rust does not)?

The one that everyone complains about is Go not having generics. I think you have to play around with both languages for long enough to know if it's a real issue; people just seem to look at the spec and decide the lack of generics is a dealbreaker.

#20I had trouble trying to just read from stdin. Actually I couldn't do it before I got frustrated and gave up. I hope I can do it this time!!! If not, then I'll wait for 0.3!!!
