While nothing there is perfect, I don't agree with that point. Language changes
are being proposed on the mailing list all the time. Many of them are very very
very *very* far from being complete, and a discussion is what happens next. Very
few of those ideas actually make it into proposals.
I'm not saying that the C++ way is perfect, or even necessarily better. Just
that your point of comparison is stating incorrect facts.
When the C++ Committee meets, they go over and formally respond to submitted
proposals only. Not mailing list discussions, and the Committee does not
transform mailing list discussions into formal proposals. (Individual members
might do so as self-selected champions, but that is not Committee work.)
In no way have I shut down discussion of any ideas on this n.g. You and anyone
else is free to continue working on deadalnix's ideas, and collaborate here on
the n.g. I have already posted replies to deadalnix in this n.g. pointing out
where further work is needed.
