With the talks on "A typescript for C++" etc., I initially assumed that cpp2 was a serious proposal. But most chatter (and LLMS) seem to indicate it's more a playground for testing out C++ proposals. Can we get some clarification? |

I'd like to also know the answer to this; I'd be more than willing to write something like a Tree-sitter grammar for syntax highlighting in editors among other tooling, but the 'experiment' framing discourages me from doing so, as I don't know if this project is going to stay around or not, and I personally don't have the skill set to maintain a fork or continuation of this project |

I appreciate your interest! Thank you. Cppfront is my personal project to try out ideas for simplifying C++ and feed those back into the ISO C++ process as potential evolution proposals that can be considered/accepted/rejected like anyone else's proposals. The "TS for C++" is intended as framing that includes both the approach (full fidelity compatibility) and the idea of contributing features back (as TS does to JS by participating in the Ecmascript committee). I don't have time or plans to support cppfront as a product, but I did relax the license to allow "as-is" production use if any brave soul did have some limited use they wanted to make of it. |
