There is no process behind this, so what exactly are the 
requirements from "non-hardcore" users?

All I can say that 90% is probably worse than nothing from the 
perspective of someone externally evaluating the language.

Yes, it has obvious merits, but if people start using it before 
it is a complete solution, then it will never reach a state of 
completion. It will become another «not quite there, but 
sufficient for the fan-base».

To put this is perspective: I actually find the differences 
between C++ and C rather problematic. And those are minimal.
