> My point is that at some point one needs to recognize their project is used for production stuff and make stability the focus, rather than hiding behind the 0.x excuse for years. Call it the Peter Pan syndrome of open source.

We have a roadmap to 1.0.0 -- it's literally right there in the release notes -- and we're going to execute on that and then tag it. Ignoring that (and SemVer) and declaring that we should actually stabilize right now is a bit unreasonable.

This is a wild comparison to me, and I say this as someone who actually used Elixir for a time fairly early in its development (and still like it!). Zig has a vastly larger and more difficult problem space to deal with than Elixir.
