To be honest, I&#x27;m not seeing your pointing this out as relevant. I never claimed Rust should have a spec at this point in its life, or claimed any other language had a spec at an equivalent point in its life, and I explicitly disclaimed any criticism. I objected only to the statement that Rust is &quot;just as finalized as any other language&quot;. Talking about other languages&#x27; youth and whether being specified early is a good thing is especially disingenuous, since the topic of the thread was whether Rust was a good candidate to use now, compared against other languages as they exist now, not making some kind of &quot;fair&quot; comparison against their early versions.
