Compiler Feature Backlog Bonanza

[pnkfelix]

Meeting proposal info

• Title: Compiler Feature Backlog Bonanza
• Type: technical

Summary

We're going to review the backlog of unimplemented or partially implemented compiler features.

Consider e.g. this github query: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?page=2&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AC-tracking-issue+-label%3AT-libs-api+-label%3AT-libs+-label%3AT-lang+-label%3AT-rustdoc

UPDATE: new query filtering all C-tracking issues without a team assigned.

UPDATE: new query filtering C-tracking issues filtering where T-compiler is tagged.

Before the meeting, Felix/Wesley will make a doc that we can fill in with notes on the various statuses. (It might be cool to leverage Github Projects too, see e.g. T-lang's initiatives.)

The list of meeting about this topic is kept updated at this comment.

Meeting scheduled for March, 7th, 10 a.m. (TZ: -05) as per compiler meeting.

@pnkfelix it's been quite some time since you filed this proposal, do you think you can be there too? It's probably ok if you don't, given we scheduled this after years.

Also, I wonder who else could interested in participating.
