I'm very much looking forward to a Nim 1.0. Whatever you think about the rationality of prospective users, 1.0 is a signal for many people that it is ready to try _for real_.
I'm also very happy that **concepts** have been receiving a lot of love lately. I'm more optimistic that they won't have to be behind some **experimental** pragma. Thanks `@zahary` and `@mora` for all of your work. This is a highly desired feature! Looking at the todo.txt, it looks like it's mostly bug fixes to get to a 1.0. So hopefully we'll see that release long before 2017. Some of the issues in the not essential block seem easy, like **[..]** to address the so called **x.f[T](y) gotcha**. Some, like destructors, may need some careful thinking. @dom96, I bought your Manning MEAP as soon as I saw the announcement. I have yet to put in some comments, since I already know a bit of Nim, but it is great to have a book to point people to, in addition to all of the great online docs by `@def` and others. I'll try and get around to it soon. This is a good year for Nim!
