Is Rust 1.0 out yet?

They are on Microsoft research.

While the world still isn't ready for the likes of Singularity and IronClad, Spec# and Dafny, at least part of the technology has landed on Windows Phone 8 and .NET Native compilers.

Rust 1.0 is currently slated for 8-14 weeks away: http://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/12/12/1.0-Timeline.html

I know, and comparing its current state with what F# offers today doesn't make sense, not today.

In a few years time when Rust has the same eco-system has F# offers today to Windows devs, then we can compare the current state of the languages.
