And that bug was less than a 1.5 years before now. And Rust is at version 1.5 now. And all changelog entries since version 1.0 (which was released 8 months ago) mention "multiple bugfixes". Of course, that's all subjective, but for me these facts all scream "rapid pace of development, expect multiple annoyances and a couple of major bugs for your particular use case".
Dropbox is using Rust in production? Great news! But I'll wait when a thousand of organizations use Rust in production before advocating its use in my own organization. Also, judging by this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3w8dgn/announc... they had incredible rapport with the language core team. That is a luxury not every team using Rust is going to have.
Still, great news. I guess I must implement some kind of little personal project in Rust and in the process help iron out a few more quirks.
As a member of that core team, I would expect that we will pay just as much attention to any company that plans on using Rust in production. We're very interested in supporting companies using Rust, and making sure t works well.
