My notes from Fairfax meeting...
Cleanup meeting:
RPG opposed the proposal. Pitman asked if he could say why in just
a couple of setences. RPG said "2 sentences? ok... I don't like it.
I really don't."
We decided to try to get a sense of X3J13 on this when it came up
at the meeting...
X3J13 meeting:
Greenblatt: If adopted, maybe use less "generic" names.
JonL: Gratuitous.
Also, no existing implementations have this.
[He didn't seem willing to count the T language. -kmp]
RPG: Ditto.
Haflich: This woudl encourage good optimizations.
Masinter: A no vote on this is not a vote against functional
programming.
KMP: That's nonsense. Of course it is. Passing this proposal would
encourage a particular style of programming, and failing to
pass it would (in the absence of other compensating proposals)
discourage it.
