 \subsection{Projects using Nemerle}
 
+There are several external projects using Nemerle.

   \item cs2n -- C\# to Nemerle converter (founded from the grant)
   \item nemish -- Nemerle Interactive Shell
-  \item Speagram TRS programming system
   \item Asper IDE/editor
   \item NAnt build system plugin
+  \item RiDL parser and lexer generator
   \item CodeDom generator (ASP.NET support)
   \item Code Completion Engine
   \item IDE integration (VS.NET, \#D, MD)

-Michal Moskal had a course about Nemerle at the Computer Science
-Institute. We plan to start a free, open--for-all, online course

+We have an online issue tracking system. There about 500 issues
+total, while 50 are still open.
 
-\subsection{TODO}
+Micha{\l} Moskal had a course about Nemerle at the Computer Science
+Institute. We also have a free, open--for-all, online course,
+it started on October 1st and is still running.
+
+\subsection{Performance results}
+
+We have made some experiments regarding performance of various
+implementations of functional constructs. In particular we have confirmed
+that using the {\tt tail.} CIL instruction prefix degrades performance
+on the MS.NET runtime -- note that this wasn't microbenchmark, but
+a compiler bootstrap with {\tt tail.} enabled or not.
+
+We also tested several implementations of functional objects. Delegates
+(the most obvious choice) were ruled out, because of the performance.
+We end up creating abstract generic base class for functional values.
+This turned out to work very good in practice.
+
+Another interesting comparison is type--erasure compilation techniques
+against runtime generics. We have found the generic version to be up
+to 20\% faster (the exact numbers are hard to give here, because moving
+bootstrap from non-generic to generic version was a quite lengthy
+and painful process with many sub--stages).
+
+\subsection{Future work}
+
+The plans for near future include a 1.0 stable release. This should happen
+before the end of 2005. The online course is part of the wider community
+building project. The stable release should also help here. We also plan to
+work more on tighter IDE integration.
 
-\begin{itemize}
-  \item 1.0 stable release approaching
-  \item more IDE integration
-  \item more community building
-  \item LINQ extensions
-\end{itemize}
+There are also more distant plans of employing some static analysis on
+Nemerle sources to prove contracts.
