The problem is not saying that Rust is currently unstable, it is you taking the leap to saying that Rust will never be stable.

Well, the trend so far has been a serious lack of language and library stability, and there's very little to suggest that the situation will change any time soon.

Stability isn't something that happens overnight. It takes a lot of discipline, and this discipline has to be ingrained within the very project itself. I don't see this as the case with Rust.

If you were following Rust at all you would know that they are aggressively rejecting requests for new features in order to produce a stable release, and have five full-time developers working on clearing release blockers.
