Rust is adding new features at the speed of C++/C# which is quite bad imo, it's good a recipe to have different code base / way of doing things in just couple of years apart. Now for Rust there are many things that could be changed, async etc ...



At first I thought this too, but if you look at the actual "features" they are adding they are all more less just smoothing out existing features. There aren't really any major new ones I can't think of that expand the "surface area" of the language. There is just a lot of polish still needed, esp. to things like async, const, etc. and most of the features appearing are about reducing the burden to use existing features.


Exactly. All of the recent big features were added a few years ago, and now they're really just filling in the gaps.


What exactly has Rust added in recent months or even years? The way I see it most changes in the language are making existing features work more consistently.
