* 171,020 lines of code

* Behavior Tests Passing:

  - LLVM backend: 681/1064 (64%)

  - WASM: 440/1064 (41%)

  - C backend: 409/1064 (38%)

  - x86: 130/1064 (12%)

  - ARM: 104/1064 (10%)

I think We are at least 2 years away from 1.0

It is so refreshing to see this featured so prominently. Gives me a lot more trust in the project.

These are the numbers for the self-hosted (ie written in Zig) stage compiler, which is not what the current release contains.

Target is apparently May for the 0.10.0 release containing this work.
