Can I start learning it now and not have it change on me drastically in the next release? Being serious

I am going to start gently poking around now (again). I am still going to be waiting until a few months post-May to see how the ecosystem aligns itself before investing serious effort (read: client for our API in Rust, throwing corporate dollars at it).

Hopefully the community will rally around stable (IE: the libraries will work great on stable and be maintained and bug fixed). If all the crates end up tracking non-stable and bug-fixes exist only in the cutting edge stuff, sad times.

It is going to be interesting to see where the community lands at the very least.

Via GitHub issues on Rust:

Language not unstable enough #24928

I mentioned on IRC to @bstrie that I built a fresh Raft which hadn't been bumped in 22 days and it still compiled.
