I hope this is clear: the published language standard the previous poster was asking about does not currently exist.
You linked to efforts to create a specification, but they aren't done or close to done.
It's also not clear the goal is to create a standard. E.g., according to the spec-vision document, the spec isn't planned to be authoritative (the implementation is). If that doesn't change the spec can't really function as a standard. (A standard would allow independent implementations and independent validation of an implementation. A non-authoritative spec doesn't.)
- testdelacc1 1y agoIf it is impossible to create an alternate implementation without a spec, is that contradicted by the existence of Gccrs?
- jmull 1y agoGccrs an effort to create an alternate compatible implementation. It hasn't yet created a generally usable compiler. I'm sure they would be among the most interested in a spec. They are currently forced to use the implementation (continuously evolving) as the spec. That makes their job considerably more difficult.
