Dear Commmittteee, Since the last status update, we * accepted the following proposals: - Type Fixity * sent the following proposals back for further refinement - NOUNPACK on function arguments * rejected the following proposals: - /none/ * were asked to review these proposals: - underscore in numeric literals * had a discussion about language extensions stability, which has been moved to a proposal of its own at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/85 and has since quieted down. It is unclear if this will happen. On our table 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: Still waiting for Ryan to make a recommendation. Or Patterns https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/43 Shepherd: Manuel Chakravarty Status: Manuel suggests acceptance, committee deliberation ongoing Underscores in numeric literals https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/76 Shepherd: Iavor Diachki Status: Iavor suggests acceptance, I sense silent agreement in the committee 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… Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail(a)joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/

Underscores in numbers proposal

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/76#issuecomment-3399529… This appears to have near universal approval. It's certainly a feature I've been grateful for when writing Rust code. I wasn't able to find a thread about this proposal in my email archives, so I apologize if this was redundant. Could this be moved to a decision soon? Thank you, Chris Allen

Dear Committee, this is your secretary speaking: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/76 was brought before the committee, by Takenobu Tani. I propose Iavor Diachki as the Shepherd, simply because he already responded to it. Iavor, please reach consensus as described in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process I suggest you make a recommendation about the decision, maybe point out debatable points, and assume that anyone who stays quiet agrees with you. Thanks, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail(a)joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
