Rust 2018 is here, but what is it?

Some HPC features (const fn) made it into 2018, and will continue to be developed.

Out of curiosity, what is missing for you? I'd imagine int generics and const fn, simd. What else?

I wonder if better support for multi-dimesional arrays and matrix operations could be implemented.

Seems like int generics are the blocker here.

Better distributed computing libraries and semantics (MPI, OpenSHMEM, ...). At the language level, it is not completely clear how RMDA and lifetimes/references should interact.

Better GPGPU support, for CUDA and OpenCL, ideally with direct compilation of Rust code to GPU assembly.
