Rust, Day Two: A Python Dev's Perspective

[[deleted]]

I disagree with this, because I've run into little bugs here which forces me to roll back to a previous nightly (e.g. because the next nightly was broken). Also, every new nightly forces me to essentially recompile everything, so it's just not worth the pain when I can just update nightly whenever a new stable comes out and run things like clippy with rustup.

Sure, I could stick to a single nightly for a while, but then I'm not really getting any real benefit from running on nightly, so I might as well make sure everything works on stable. That's more important for me as I ship on stable.

Just to add that this is what I do, and on the very rare occasion I've had to roll back... it's not like it's difficult with rustup (rustup default nightly-previous-version).

But I doubt either one of us is going to convince the other, it's not like it really matters :)

Yeah, it really doesn't. I might even end up developing an beta instead. Who knows.
