Rust for Windows 0.9

Maybe it's cynical, but I wonder if it's a PR/imaging move. When you read these kind of names, it seems like the Linux/Rust community is embracing and supporting Windows, while really it's the reverse.

I don't think it's cynical at all, and is probably both. I guess in all big companies PR/marketing teams chime in to all public facing projects

I think you are right. If I remember correctly, someone on the typescript team said they have no control over version numbers. PR/marketing decides what is version 4.0 vs 3.11.

I don't think that's strictly true: https://twitter.com/drosenwasser/status/1098748330765619200

As far as major versions go, AFAIK they just bump the mayor version every ten minor versions, of which they release a new one every 3 (?) months.
