First of all, let me just say that Rust is quite a beauty and I look forward to how it will develop.
Thanks!
Discovering that there’s an interactive interpreter (rusti) was a very pleasant surprise. Taking this a step further, I would like to ask what’s the language designers’ stance on hot code swapping a la Erlang or Common Lisp.
That it's incompatible with the way PLTs currently work on various operating systems, so out of scope. Sorry. When we were doing our own runtime linking (yes, really) this was more possible. Now that we're trying to integrate with the native C toolchains (including runtime linker), it's not, and won't be.
