#2I'm impressed with the direction they've laid out. It is great to see a deliberate effort is being made to make the language easier to learn and to strengthen the community's ability to leverage shared code.

#3Don't change the language to make it easier (unless that can be a free lunch), but get someone doing a "Today in rust" or "Doing X in rust" blog/vlog. Also please get some sort of RNG into the main language (not as a crate).

What advantage would putting an RNG into the language do? Are there any languages where an RNG is a language construct?

Any particular reason rng must be in the stdlib? It's an "official" crate, maintained by the Rust developers. In general Rust tries to keep things out of its stdlib instead opting for crates. It lets these evolve independently of the stdlib (not tied to rustc releases), and also lets them have their own versioning (none of that urllib2 urllib3 nonsense)

I think they mean stdlib. RNG is not in the language for any language I can think of.

The Rust's goals of high performance, safety and pay-what-your-use and you-couldn't-hand-code-better won't be sacrificed for sure. The point in ergonomics improvements is to identify "free lunches" that aren't yet taken advantage of.
That being said, lifetimes and traits being both complex and unfamiliar features, there's always going to be quite of a learning curve. But one can always reduce the amount of papercuts. If nothing else, one can at least make the documentation better, the ecosystem libraries better and error messages even smarter.

#9> fast, reliable, productive--pick three
I love it. Short and simple, describes what Rust is. Between that and "an anti-sloppy programming language", pretty sure the marketing is there. Well done community leads, this is exciting.

Is there an good IDE for windows? Something that will step through debug?
