How many do? Which ones? I’m curious what you’re still running into.

(This is me being curious about your Rust comment, not implying anything about the relative stability of the two languages)

rustfmt is not a library, and folks don’t depend on it as one. The only nightly features it uses are “hey let me use compiler as a library please,” which is also not, in my experience, common in the ecosystem. Even furthermore, it’s distributed precompiled in your rust installation, so that doesn’t end up giving you a nightly dependency to use it.

Anyway, thanks. Nightly does exist to be used, but our users largely report using stable, so when people say things like this, I am trying to see if there’s any blind spots.
