[ghc-steering-committee] Status

[Joachim Breitner]

Hi,

off the floor at the Haskell Symposium, the current status. I think
many of us are here in Oxford. I guess we could try to meet in person
and work off the backlog simply by quick real-live discussion – but
maybe people have better things to do, and not all of us are here. So
let’s just carry on as usual.

Since the last status update one new proposals has come up for
deliberation, and one proposals was accepted.

Open at the moment are:

NOUNPACK on function arguments
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/46
Shepherd: Simon Marlow
Status: There was more discussion on GitHub, and @treeowl will have a
look if the proposal text is reflecting all that discussion.
(Still waiting on @treeowl.)

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

Explicit foralls proposal
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/55
Shepherd: Simon Peyton Jones
Status: Simon recommended to accept this, and we see silent consensus
emerging.

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: Rejection recommended, but met with different opinions here. We
need to either continue debating or *gasp* actually vote.


Besides these, there are some proposals actively under discussion. You
can always check them out at

Greetings,
Joachim
