GHC2024 committee deliberation
by Joachim Breitner 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Dear Committee, I’d like to get the committe involvement in GHC2024 started. The current proposal is at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/613 https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/joachim/ghc2024/proposa… At the moment, six changes relative to CHC2021 are proposed by committee and by community members. See the proposal for rationales. My goal is to have a decision in time for 9.10. I suggest we use November to deliberate the proposals and maybe add more changes to the list, and then vote in early December. We’ll put each change separately on the ballot. I know that there are ongoing discussions that could arguably affect how we want the next GHC20xx to look like, in particular the just opened #620, and I anticipate a desire to postpone GHC2024 until that has been decided. But I recall that we postponed GHC2023 for (among other reasons) for the same reason, and I wouldn’t be surprised that if in a year we have yet another unresolved question that seems worth waiting for. If this pattern reminds you of the GHC release process before we introduced the regular cadence, then maybe you’ll agree that if we want a predictable and reasonable frequent stream of language editions, we have to avoid such delays when feasible. So please let us know what you think of the proposed changes, what other changes you want to see, or if you have qualms about the process. Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail(a)joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
