Rust 0.3 发布，Mozilla 的编程语言

Rust 0.3 发布了，Rust 是 Mozilla 目前正在开发一个新的编程语言，由web语言的领军人物Brendan Eich（js之父），Dave Herman以及Mozilla公司的Graydon Hoare 合力开发。创建这个新语言的目的是为了解决一个很顽疾的问题：软件的演进速度大大低于硬件的演进，软件在语言级别上无法真正利用多核计算带来的性能提升。

Rust是针对多核体系提出的语言，并且吸收一些其他动态语言的重要特性，比如不需要管理内存，比如不会出现Null指针等等。
Rust 0.3 Changes：
   * ~1900 changes, numerous bugfixes
   * New coding conveniences
      * Integer-literal suffix inference
      * Per-item control over warnings, errors
      * #[cfg(windows)] and #[cfg(unix)] attributes
      * Documentation comments
      * More compact closure syntax
      * 'do' expressions for treating higher-order functions as
        control structures
      * *-patterns (wildcard extended to all constructor fields)
   * Semantic cleanup
      * Name resolution pass and exhaustiveness checker rewritten
      * Region pointers and borrow checking supersede alias
        analysis
      * Init-ness checking is now provided by a region-based liveness
        pass instead of the typestate pass; same for last-use analysis
      * Extensive work on region pointers
   * Experimental new language features
      * Slices and fixed-size, interior-allocated vectors
      * #!-comments for lang versioning, shell execution
      * Destructors and iface implementation for classes;
              type-parameterized classes and class methods
      * 'const' type kind for types that can be used to implement
        shared-memory concurrency patterns
   * Type reflection
   * Removal of various obsolete features
      * Keywords: 'be', 'prove', 'syntax', 'note', 'mutable', 'bind',
                 'crust', 'native' (now 'extern'), 'cont' (now 'again')
      * Constructs: do-while loops ('do' repurposed), fn binding,
                          resources (replaced by destructors)
   * Compiler reorganization
      * Syntax-layer of compiler split into separate crate
      * Clang (from LLVM project) integrated into build
      * Typechecker split into sub-modules
   * New library code
      * New time functions
      * Extension methods for many built-in types
      * Arc: atomic-refcount read-only / exclusive-use shared cells
      * Par: parallel map and search routines
      * Extensive work on libuv interface
      * Much vector code moved to libraries
      * Syntax extensions: #line, #col, #file, #mod, #stringify,
              #include, #include_str, #include_bin
   * Tool improvements
      * Cargo automatically resolves dependencies
