Missing plus new and improved features show up in the next stable
release of the language. The problem though is that we do not
have a stable release of the language, nor do we even have a beta
release. What we have can be described as a perpetual
experimental release of the language.
From what I can tell, we have enough already to document a stable
release that will be useful in practical terms. Yes more features
can and possibly should be added - but the desire to evolve and
improve the language will always be there, so it never stops. We
have to force a "stop" with an artificially imposed "stable"
release.
