It's a bit early to say but I think so, yes.

Destructors, assignment operators, the move optimization are coming behind a 
`--newruntime` switch and expected to be useful within days/weeks for you to 
tinker with, how to introduce even more moves ("sink parameters?") is unclear. 
The other outlined features have no ETA.

The really hard part is replacing the existing runtime with one with a 
different performance profile ("yay, deterministic freeing, yay more efficient 
multi threading possibilities, ugh, overall slower?!") and is likely stuff for 
Nim v2.

But yeah, feedback is always appreciated.
