Right now, we have to compile the compiler for this ourselves. Pardon my skepticism; I’m not sure this is mature enough.
Edit: I’m talking about the project not the idea. Sean Baxter has shown up everywhere for awhile talking about this. I think his idea has a ton of maturity. I don’t know that the project itself has enough maturity to mainline yet.
That's fair. I think the last word in the URL does a good job of representing the implementation's claimed level of maturity:
draft

Either it’s a draft or it’s a new iteration of the language. Can’t be both.
It's a draft of a proposal for a new iteration. Is that so difficult to understand?
Annnnnnnnnnnnd we’re done. Good luck! I highly recommend you take some time to understand how draft can mean more in the technical space. It might help you in the future when you are discussing things like drafts, specifications, and proposals.
He never said it was an Internet Draft. Try actually reading. It might help you in the future when you are discussing things.
I think it's pretty clear that IETF drafts are not what author meant when he wrote draft, and I'm pretty sure the IETF doesn't have much to do with C++ standards.

As it turns out, I have done more than a little of that. Thankfully, I don't usually see such condescending remarks in the process, nor such insistence on misunderstanding. Good luck to you, too.
This is “It’s just a THEORY” but for programmers
It’s a concept of a plan
