Glad they've finally gotten to 1.0, been using it on and off since .3 with the same optimism I had when Rails jumped onto the scene. I really hope the community can start to mature beyond the bikeshedding that is typical of early language days, and start cracking more significant issues necessary for wider acceptance. Speed and multiple dispatch are great, but ability to roll standalone binaries (just don't mention it on Discourse/Gitter or risk Karpinski's wrath), streamlining documentation/onboarding, and more native/active package development are pretty big todos to tackle.

I've been working on updating a wide variety of engineering software apis/wrappers and a large informatics library for .7/1.0, but I'd love to hear any suggestions of must-need technical packages that users want from MATLAB, Python, or R.
