Oh no, not another ‘Is Rust better than Go?’ article. Seriously, haven’t we all had our fill of these comparisons by now? But before you sigh in exasperation, hear us out!
This isn’t really true though. Rust has integrated versioning and it cordons things off between editions. If you’re within the same edition, you get updates without breaking changes. Even if you aren’t in the same edition, you can grab specific compiler versions. Granted, in these circumstances you won’t get security updates, but you have to be very out of date for that to be a problem.
I wrote an app using brand new Rust features for work 2 years ago. Despite upgrading the compiler version several times, I never needed to make a single code change. It is still being used daily as well.
