[ghc-steering-committee] Status

[Joachim Breitner]

Hi,

already a month since the last status!

Since the last status update, one proposals was accepted. I have also
moved NOUNPACK on function arguments
<https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/46>
to status “dormant”, until the proposal is updated to reflect recent
discussion.

Open at the moment are:

Lazy unboxed tuples
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/35
Shepherd: Ryan Newton
Status: Still waiting for Ryan to make a recommendation.

Mutable constructor fields
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/8
Shepherd: Ryan Newton
Status: Waiting for Ryan to make a recommendation.

Or Patterns
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/43
Shepherd: Manuel Chakravarty
Status: Waiting for Manuel to make a recommendation.

Type fixity
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/65
Shepherd: Joachim Breitner
Status: Not consensus, but majority for “accept”. Current discussion
revolves around the question: Can this be included in
ExplicitNamespaces, or does it require a separate language extension.
The proposer also points out that explicit namespaces would also be
useful for various pragmas.

Besides these, there are some proposals actively under discussion. You
can always check them out at
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+no%3Alabel


Greetings,
Joachim
