 ## Short-term TODOs
 
-- implement fibers, channels, and nurseries
-- remove builtinPrint
+- casing of module names
+- fix fault attribution
+- rearchitect tracing
+- new name?
 - add caching while compile-time evaluating code
+- tags?
 - pattern matching
 - pipe operator
+- text interpolation
 - eliminate common subtrees
 - inline functions
 - minimize inputs found through fuzzing
-- make condition whether to keep running more granular
 - fuzz parser
-- support recursion
+- remove builtinPrint
 - tail call optimization
-- new name?
 - parse function declaration with doc comment but no code
+- tracing visualization
+- distinguish packages from normal modules
 - complain about comment lines with too much indentation
 - develop guidelines about how to format reasons
+- module files: `.candy` vs `_.candy`?
