indicators for production readiness:
- language feature completeness
- robust IO
- module ecosystem
- concurrency (I think this can wait a bit, honestly...)
- performance
- deployment in major free OSes
- spec snapshots (boolean)
- standard library (ok, not all of these belong in stdlib, but they're nice to have)
- IO
- POSIX
- IO::Socket::SSL
- HTTP client library
- DB access (DBIish)
- Gtk3
