Named defaults -- attention needed
by Simon Peyton Jones 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Dear GHC Steering Committee Please see https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/672. This is a small amendment to a recently-accepted proposal, prompted by the discovery that the language feature accidentally breaks code that doesn't use it. It's small but important. Maybe not yet formally submitted for our attention, but we want to get something agreed and implemented before the next release. So I think it's worth your early attention. Simon

Arnaud's holiday/move
by Arnaud Spiwack 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

Dear all, As of this Thursday 15th August, I'll be on holiday; I'll be back on the 9th September. Since it's a sizable chunk of time, I wanted to make sure to share: I won't be reading my emails during this time. When I'm back, I'll be living in Japan. Which shouldn't change much for my Steering Committee commitments, I don't think. But it may be a little disruptive at first. Best, -- Arnaud Spiwack Director, Research at https://moduscreate.com and https://tweag.io.
