  Wicked sense of gallows humor, @Arrrrrrrrr!

  When we gonna have a stable api for 1.0 ?

  Over under bet: Nim 1.0 or "Winds Of Winter"? @Arrrrrrrrr's O/U: Nim 1.0 or "A Dream Of Spring"

  I have heard that 2017 will already be the year of Linux on the desktop, so Nim might have to wait one more year.

  An optimistic but reasonable growth goal for Nim's takeoff is a threefold popularity increase per year for the next few years. If that was so, it would roughly mean this a year from now:

  • 10,000 github stars.
  • 10,000 +"nim programming" search results.
  • 330 people in #Nim on FreeNode.

  That would be a big increase in growth compared to the past, but if that comes to pass then 2017 will indeed be our break-through year. I'll bump this a year from now to see if we come close. ;)

  At that rate we'd probably hit TIOBE Top 100 in 2018.

  The growth itself won't be linear of course, but it's a more reasonable estimate than "poof and we're Java". :P

  If there is a poof and Nim is Java, then I am out. Java is horrible.
