Yes. It will happen; it was ready to land on nightly just before the branch, but was held off so that we could have the full, usual, "spends six weeks in nightly, then beta, then stable" situation rather than almost immediately jumping into beta. This means it'll hit stable in two releases, 1.19, as long as nothing goes wrong.
rustup is really great. First I was a little bit curious if the updates every 6 weeks would ruin my dev environment since I need to update every time. but rustup makes that a breeze.
`rustup update`. that's what to do when there is a new version, nothing more I don't know that any other compilers/interpreter that has the same ease of use. except maybe sbt, but that can't self update. (P.S.: Awesome talk about rust on scaladays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6dNx9pY7p8&index=2&list=PLL...)
