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)
