The features I'm highly expecting are pinned references and async/await, that will make most of my paid Rust to be so much more readable and maintainable. I know these are coming this year, but any chance they might be already in 1.27?

1.26 has impl Trait, which is one of those things that really makes your life easier as a Rust developer. I've been using beta already with the new API I'm building just to get that feature, now on stable right before I'm actually thinking of deploying the API. Nice.

The RFC for async/await was actually just accepted two days ago! https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2394#issuecomment-387... :) It's a priority for this year, but it'll be a few months yet; unless something goes unexpectedly wrong, I'd expect it no later than 1.30, releasing on October 25th.

Pin is in nightly, but async/await is not. Both will certainly miss 1.27, and my guess is MAYBE 1.28, probably 1.29.
