I think one thing that we need to emphasize is that Rust 1.0 does not indicate that we think the language is "complete". It is merely the result of recognition that getting to that "complete" state can, as of very soon, be done in a stable and backwards-compatible fashion. I expect the post-1.0 releases to see a flurry of activity as we flesh out deficiencies in existing features and add new features to address pain points, but over time the rate of feature growth will slow. Rust has no intention of becoming a ball-of-mud programming language.
