After many years of waiting, version 1.0 of the Rust programming language has finally been released. The Rust home page describes Rust as "a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents nearly all segfaults, and guarantees thread safety."

Thanks to the hard work of noted Rust core team members Yehuda Katz and Steve Klabnik, Rust is now poised to become a serious competitor to established systems programming languages like C and C++.

The announcement has brought much jubilation to the followers of Rust, who have been eagerly awaiting this milestone release for so long. With only 1,940 open issues and over 11,500 issues already closed, Rust is finally ready for users to build fantastically reliable software systems using it.

    So Linus does not like C++. So what? Linus is not god, nor his prophet, he's not even the pope. He's not infallible. Everything he says is just his own personal opinion, which probably is often right, but for sure not always.

    If Linus says something about OS kernel development, I tend to believe him. If he says something about any other topic, I have no reason to believe him more than anyone else developing software.
