While I'm sure this does indicate that the Rust guys are pretty industrious, I feel like judging a project by how many issues it's closed is like judging it by how many lines of code it has.
I'm not sure if it's much of a compliment, but it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that we have a lot of bugs. :) I guess the good news is that we're apparently working damn hard to squash them!
closing issues is good!! you guys work really hard and rust is awesome!
its cool to see a language being iterated on so publicly :)
