It’s easy to look back on the pre-1.0 times and cherish them for being the wild times of language development and fun research. Features were added and cut, syntax and keywords were tried, and before 1.0, there was a big clean-up that removed a lot of the standard library. For fun, you can check Niko’s blog post on [how Rust's object system works][rust-object-system], Marijn Haverbeke’s talk on [features that never made it close to 1.0][marijn-rustfest] or even the [introductory slides about Servo][servo-introduction], which present a language looking very different from today.
