Congrats to the Rust team and all contributors! Awesome work!

Is the non-lexical lifetime improvements work locked to a particular release yet?

Also, now that the async/await RFC has been merged, is its implementation in nightly or stable going to be squeezed in for the 2018 roadmap plans?

async/await has been on the 2018 roadmap from the start: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2018/03/12/roadmap.html

As for non-lexical lifetimes, there's lots that's been implemented but much of it is still experimental; follow Niko Matsakis' blog series at http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2018/04/27/an-a... to stay up to date with what's happening.

Yeah, the plan is for async/await to be part of the 2018 edition, but it's going to take some time.
