[ghc-steering-committee] RecordDotSyntax: please express a view

[Simon Peyton Jones]

Dear steering committee

I'm the shepherd for the RecordDotSyntax proposal.
  https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/282

I recommend acceptance:
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/282#issuecomment-563477691

Please reads the proposal, and as much of the discussion as you feel able, and respond in the next week or two to indicate your views.

Remember: ask technical questions on the Github discussion thread, and use this mailing list for more evaluative discussion of judgement or opinion.

I'd love every member of the committee to express a view.  This proposal has attracted a lot of interest.

Thanks

Simon

| RecordDotSyntax, Shepherd: Simon PJ
| 
| Dear Committee,
| 
| this is your secretary speaking:
| 
| RecordDotSyntax language extension proposal has been proposed by Neil
| Mitchell and Shayne Fletcher
| https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/282
| https://github.com/shayne-fletcher-da/ghc-proposals/blob/record-dot-
| syntax/proposals/0000-record-dot-syntax.md
| 
| This is going to be a tricky one. It is partly about whitespace, so it
| has attracted a _lot_ of community interest, by far the most so far. To
| navigate that ship, I propose Simon PJ as the shepherd, because he is a
| excellent moderator and community manager, and because he has the
| necessary authority to hopefully get a verdict accepted.
| 
| Please reach consensus as described in
| https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process
| I suggest you make a recommendation, in a new e-mail thread with the
| proposal number in the subject, about the decision, maybe point out
| debatable points, and assume that anyone who stays quiet agrees with you.
| 
| Thanks,
| Joachim
