Just a quick update for those who don't follow Nim's github. Since @Araq has returned from his vacation, in the last 5 days whopping 160 pull requests were either merged or closed!! Now there are (just) 90 pull requests open. I hope this trend (lots of PRs incoming, and quick resolving) will continue. * * * IMO, the next goal should be lowering the number of open issues [1]. My quick exploration has showed that there are many older issues which were fixed in the mean time, but the issue remained open — those are the easiest to close. Tackling all the other issues is a great opportunity to win that [Hacktoberfest T-shirt](https://nim-lang.org/blog/2018/10/01/hacktoberfest-with-nim.html) and should not be missed. [1] Ironically, I'm writing this as a reply to a man who is the author of 13% of currently open issues :D
