Rust Is a Wave of the Future
That&#x27;s right, &quot;the Future&quot;. Because as of right now the vast majority of devs using Rust are the type that use $latest features and Rust adds $latest features at a blinding rate compared to established languages. This makes forwards compatibility so bad that Debian 11, which isn&#x27;t even released yet and has rustc 1.48, is already out of date and unable to compile most rust programs written for the rust spec just 3 months later.<p>It&#x27;s not that Rust is bad, it&#x27;s great. But right now the dev culture is all about $latest and there aren&#x27;t many Rust devs that care if you can compile and run it on your 2 year old distro. This is also why 99% of rust documentation starts with telling you to install rust-up from out of repo third party sources: your local repository rust, no matter how new, is already out of date.
