There is an ongoing debate about whether we'll have a 1.8 or if we go for 2.0 
directly. A stable IC could also be backported to the 1.6.x line.

Concepts are stuck in the design phase as I have no idea of how to infer 
`static` values.

We should map methods to C++'s virtual function tables. We should implement 
<https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/380> for our "take on OO". 
Unfortunately, #380 is harder to implement than I expected it to be. :-)

> CPS, async, the threading libraries

There is now <https://github.com/nim-lang/threading> providing shared pointers 
and light-weight channels. I hope for a better `createThread` API, see also 
<https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/401>

`async` is mature but doesn't see much development, if and when CPS can succeed 
it is unclear to me, I haven't been following its progress. IMO neither should 
be part of 2.0, 2.0 should trim what has been proven to be done better as 
external packages.
