This is the worst part of @rustlang is the assumption you can and will use nightly. We have https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/mem/fn.uninitialized.html … which they say "don't use this it's deprecated" and they have https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/mem/union.MaybeUninit.html … but I can't use that because it's nightly.

it says "deprecating", not deprecated, it's precisely doing what it should do: letting folks that a new option will come eventually (the use of "2.0" is unfortunate, that's done to mean "future")

this doesn't "assume nightly" at all, it just says that eventually a new feature will come. i don't see what else could have been done here.

Well, the unwritten part of this is that heaps of the standard library now uses the "nightly only" version. So if I want to follow "best practice" I too need to use nightly only for my work ....

this is an incorrect assumption you can't fault us for that assumption

No I can't fault you for it at all. But it's the trend. Nightly is the "default" rust today, and that's the attitude the community seems to hold. Stable is a second class experience for rust today from a consumer point of view.

The latest survey numbers show that more people use stable than nightly. Often both. Will be interested to see next year’s now that a lot of Dev tooling no longer requires it.
