I recently wrote my first Rust [1] project. Great experience, IMO. I faced a lot of interesting challenges because my use case was a little outside of typical. But I tried to minimize 'unsafe' and I was still satisfied with the results so far.
I know I've only just scratched the surface of the language and I'm looking forward to learning more.
How are compile times now? The one barrier I had to using Rust for anything large was the awful compile times. Very happy to see the tooling improvements, though. Great work!
Well, "now" is relative. When did you last try? They've been steadily dropping each release, though this latest one isn't as large as the last few.
Rates of female participation below 5% - wow. Why is Rust lang so anti-female?
Browsing the names of contributors, I was surprised at the lack of gender diversity. Four or five female contributors at the very most. Rates of female participation below 5% - wow. Why is Rust lang so anti-female?
I've been excited to try Rust for some time now, but I've been holding off, only because I'm primarily developing web applications and I've heard from a few people that Rust is better suited for other tasks (based on the built-ins, packages, etc.?), despite there being at least a few frameworks out there. What are your thoughts on this? Have things changed? Is the assumption just dead wrong, and Rust is in fact treme…
I'm working on a new project now where my web server will be Node, however much of my api and micro services/jobs will be in Rust. I expect it to go well, we'll see.

I'm particularly interested in incremental recompilation. From what I can see it hasn't landed yet (?) - but I can't seem to find any ETA on when it will.
That doesn't mean the _discussion_ about how it works has to stop in the meantime, though...

Posts like yours just demonstrate that you can never win by giving into SJW demands. No matter how much you do, it's never enough. Get lost. We're here to talk about technology, not about your imaginary slights of half of humanity against the other.

Run rustup.sh again, and it will Just Work. (If not, that's a bug.) If you want to have multiple versions installed at the same time, https://github.com/brson/multirust is super cool. Generally speaking, installation is something we're working on: working with Linux package maintainers, rolling rustup and multirust together and making them work well cross-platform, etc.
Any plans to offer official Rust Docker images? Or is this it? https://hub.docker.com/r/jimmycuadra/rust/
Container images are great for daemons with possibly complicated dependency sets that might have conflicting version requirements with other packages and can benefit from isolation from other packages that containerization gives, but seem like a pretty heavyweight solution for just installing a compiler.

Apologies, I should have mentioned that. It's been about 9 months.
