Need a volunteer to reach out to Eran Medan and find out current interest/commitment.

Some possibility that this could be satisfied with a spire-like approach to literals using string interp in a library -> SLIP proposal.

this was discussed on scala-internals in May 2016: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/scala-internals/ONkqLTxw4mM/Ru3TX9DABwAJ

And after much reflection. I still think some form of thousand-separator is needed. I use spire's i"100 000" on some projects, and it works great. But I really don't want to add Spire as a dependency just to get this functionality.

SethTisue commented 8 years ago

I wonder if the Spire folks would want to provide it as a standalone module?

Closing since this repo is being decommissioned. This could still go forward as either a SIP or under the new Scala Platform Proposal (http://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2016/11/28/spp.html), depending on whether it ends up as language support or just as a library (or standard module or addition to the standard library).
