Hello, could you approximately say, when would 1.0 be released ?

Hi Alexander!

"Whenever it's ready" is the best answer, although probably not the one you're looking for :)

We don't have an estimated date yet. We tried to set one once, and then we did lot's of great things - except releasing 1.0.

So we're focusing on working on the language & the community & everything else, and we'll call it 1.0 whenever we feel it is 1.0.

As a user, I had once to update a codebase from Crystal 0.23.0 to 0.24.1 and it was really easy to do. I personally think that not-being-1.0 is not enough of a reason not to use Crystal in a project - but your mileage may vary, as always :)

One more thing - whenever we hit 1.0, I promise you'll notice :)

Cheers!
