37- That said, it is generally stable at this point with reasonably high test
38- coverage, linting, and type checking. Work is ongoing to complete the rest of the
39- standard library implementations. I suspect it could be used to build small
40- applications and tools at this point, though I would not recommend it unless you
41- like being an early adopter.
