Dear committee, has it really been three months since the last status? Time flies like an arrow (and fruit flies like banana). Some proposals are stalled on individual members of the committee who have become much less active recently (Manuel, Ben, partly Chris). I encourage you (and everyone else of course) to realistically assess your commitment, and – if you think that that’s in the best interest of all involved – indicate if we should start to find new members with fresh engery. Anyways, quite a few things have happened: * were asked to review these proposals: #167 Deprecated Entities (shepherd: Vitaly) #203 PtrRep (shepherd: SPJ) #176 SCC Parsing (shepherd: Simon M) #193 forall keyword (shepherd: Eric) #155 Type Vars in Lambdas (shepherd: Iavor) #209 Levity polymorphic lift (shepherd: Eric) #210 -Wredundand-minimal-methods (shepherd: me) #190 module qualified syntax (shepherd: Simon M) #207 type variables in quotations (shepherd: Richard) #195 newtype Q (shepherd: Vitaly) #204 nested brackets (shepherd: Iavor) #179 Printing of foralls (shepherd: me) #177 constrained type families (shepherd: Vitaly) * got a recommendation from shepherds about: #193 forall keyword (rec: acccept) #176 SCC Parsing (rec: accept) #210 -Wredundand-minimal-methods (rec: accept) #209 Levity polymorphic lift (rec: accept) #207 type variables in quotations (rec: reject) #167 Deprecated Entities (rec: accept) #195 newtype Q (rec: accept) #190 module qualified syntax (rec: accept) #204 nested brackets (rec: shelve) #179 Printing of foralls (rec: acccept) #203 PtrRep (rec: accept) * decided about the following proposals #158 Add setField to HasField (accept) #28 Bundling patterns with type synonyms (reject) #167 Deprecated Entities (reject) #193 forall keyword (acccept) #207 type variables in quotations (reject) #195 newtype Q (needs revision) #210 -Wredundand-minimal-methods (accept) #203 PtrRep (accept) #176 SCC Parsing (accept) We currently have to act on the following 8 proposals, up two since the last status: Levity polymorphic lift https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/209 Shepherd: Eric Status: To be accepted after minor tweaks by the authors Module qualified syntax https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/190 Shepherd: Simon M Status: To be accepted after we decide on the pragma name Tweak printing of foralls https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/179 Shepherd: me Status: Ongoing discussion (Iavor had questions) Simple constrained type families https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/177 Shepherd: Vitaly Status: Waiting for Vitaly to make a recommendation Binding type variables in lambda expressions https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/155 Shepherd: Iavor Status: Discussion ongoing, Iavor did not make an official recommendation Type annotated quoters https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/125 Shepherd: Manuel Status: Still waiting for recommendation.
