This is actually one of the things that keeps turning me away each time I try Nim. All software has bugs, got it, but in my mind a language nearing 1.0 should squash some of that list (or remove/feature gate things causing them) before even thinking about a 1.0 IMO.

In my opinion, 1.0 is about the language specification becoming stable. That said, some experimental features have actually been gated in preparation for the 1.0 release.
