Pre-2.0 Roadmap

Warning: these dates are only estimates. They're also probably a little optimistic, as I'll likely get distracted by the other open source projects I work on.

update: Dates pushed back a bit due to taking a break for MLOC.js. Also added some more goals to make sure 2.0 is really polished.

update again: Changed dates to time required to finish each feature, as I don't want to guarantee when I will work on it.

expected completion description
2 days extract optimiser
3 days update syntastic (#56)
1 week clean up horrendous auto-declaration code in compiler
1 week refactor src/compiler.coffee
1 week upgrade to latest PEGjs
1 week upgrade to latest mozilla/source-map
2 days update all dependencies to latest versions
3 days binary exprs on new lines
2 weeks profile and improve performance
1 week super
2 weeks bugs (#65, #83, etc.)
2 days un-pend or delete any remaining pending tests
1 week more tests
- 2.0 RELEASE!
