What is progress of standatizing open pattern matching and/or open multimethods? #57

Hi,

I have just watched video of "Accept No Visitors" talk and was really impressed!

There was mentioned will to standardise these techniques, which would be really nice to have this language feature with low-level performance and yet high level abstractions!

Is there any progress with that? Was there a proposal submitted or drafted (not sure where to browse for these)? What are comments from other committee members?

Thanks!

AFAIK the only related proposal is P0051R0, which actually references a paper about Mach7.

solodon4 commented 8 years ago

That is correct, there is currently no proposal based on this, mostly because of time issues with my daily work on Visual C++ and Clang/C2. I am trying to put things together and hopefully present them at one of the C++ conferences, but that goes very slowly unfortunately as I have other things contending for my free time as well. I'll post any updates when they become available on the project page and in the comments here, please stay tuned.
