  5. Language changes are proposed through our RFC process, which is at this repository: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs Open issues start a discussion, and then morph to a more formal proposal.

  6. …Rust program written, and people may be surprised if 'the best way' to do this changes after 1.0. https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/243

  20. Unfortunately I don't think higher-kinded types are planned for Rust 1.0. See the rfc: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/324 and this HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7997926
  21. Does the RFC230 ( https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/230 ) removal of green threads give me out of box 1:1 threading or just that std::io uses native threads and the rest has to use green threads only now as an additional outside…

    comment by Ericson2314 · 2014-10-07 · in Rust means never having to close a socket
  25. There is ongoing discussion about this, eg here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/239 (related reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/2gs85u/rfc_allow_compi... )

  32. There was an RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/148 The author closed it after finding that there were no non-subjective reasons. Moving to []s causes other ambiguities.
