The 1.0 release is expected by the end of this year. Rumors say it will be in
summer 2015. What's left:
* Bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes!
* Bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes, in particular:
- The remaining bugs of the lambda lifting pass that is responsible to enable
closures and closure iterators need to be fixed.
- ``concept`` needs to be refined, a nice name for the feature is not enough.
- Destructors need to be refined.
- ``static[T]`` needs to be fixed.
- Finish the implementation of the 'parallel' statement.
* ``immediate`` templates and macros will be deprecated as these will soon be
completely unnecessary, instead the ``typed`` or ``untyped`` metatypes can
be used.
* The standard library needs cleanups and should use the features we have for
concurrency and parallelism.
* More of the standard library should be moved to Nimble packages and what's
left should use the features we have for concurrency and parallelism.
