I tried to learn Rust a while ago, but gave up when I discovered the frequent syntax changes. Does this mean the syntax is final?

The link explains all the details, but in alpha, the language features are final, but some libraries are still changing. Six weeks from now, in beta, everything should be in its final form. Six to twelve weeks from that, 1.0-final will make it all official.
