> Crates are often abandoned seemingly for no reason, often before even hitting 1.0.

That is the one of the first things my colleagues told me after trying Rust for a few weeks: a laaaarge number of crates under 1.0, and so many abandoned crates, still published in crates.io. Some of those have even reported CVEs due to heavy `unsafe` usage for... nothing.

I love Rust, but I have the feeling that the language (and its community) lost the point since the release of the 2018 edition.
