Why is GAT struck out?

• steveklabnik 6y ago
  I read it as a joke; chalk is necessary but not sufficient for the language to gain GATs.

    What other major things are needed?
    • steveklabnik 6y ago
      In my understanding, Chalk's immediate goal is to be able to reproduce the existing trait system. Achieving that goal does not mean that GATs just automatically happen; they'll need to be implemented in Chalk, and then all the other polish work that happens with new major features needs to happen. There's a ton of work other than "chalk exists."

        I believe GATs are at least somewhat supported in chalk https://github.com/rust-lang/chalk/issues/116 https://github.com/rust-lang/chalk/issues/116

  We, the undersigned, petition for GATs to be un-struck out, and implemented hastily.
