    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

    :)

      You said

      This proposal is a new iteration of the language and standard library. It would provide safe language features for preventing such problems existing in the first place.

      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?

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Draft

            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.

            Are you under the impression that there is no other sense of the word?

            It might help you in the future when you are discussing things like drafts, specifications, and proposals.

            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.

            He never said it was an Internet Draft. Try actually reading. It might help you in the future when you are discussing things.

        This is “It’s just a THEORY” but for programmers
