Rust 1.39 is out today as the latest stable update for this popular programming language.

Most prominent with Rust 1.39 is async-await support to allow functions to "pause" generally for I/O or other purposes and then to resume functionality.

Rust 1.39 also now supports attributes on function parameters, new const functions, standard library additions, and other changes.
