Where can I find the discussion about XML literals?

[AMatveev]

It would be very comfortable if there was ability to navigate to the interesting question quickly.
Would it be possible to announce discussing question in youtube chat when it starts to be discussed? It would allow to search them quickly.

Hi, there are several places, take a look at:
Discussion here in the Contributors:

Proposal to remove XML literals from the language

There’s a Scala 3 proposal to remove XML from the language, which would mean that the compiler’s parser would no longer parse XML. For example, the following code will no longer compile. val p = <person><name>Ken</name><age>23</age></person> The previous code would need to be written as: val p = xml"""<person><name>Ken</name><age>23</age></person>""" There are plans to have a rewrite to go from the former code snippet to the latter. This proposal is open for discussion in the community and w…

Hi there, thanks for your interest and suggestion - I am always looking for the ways to better the communication.
Not sure it would work with the live comments because they appear as the discussion is going, but I might miss-understood your proposal or not knowing YouTube enough.
In the minutes I take I put the time frame the discussion took place + the start link, does that help?
Looking forward to hearing back form you.

It is very easy to navigate to the end and read it.

In the minutes I take I put the time frame the discussion took place + the start link, does that help?

I can not find the time frame.

I think the message in the chat is very easy to do and to use.
It is simplest and fastest way.

Oh, what a surprise to see my face all over your answer (((:

Ok, so yes, one would need to go forward and then scroll, cool.
I would, in this case, just put it in the description, makes more sense to me, once it’s done I add the times and links next to the agenda items, WDYT?

Other than that, the timings are beneath the titles. I agree it’d be cool having it in the table too.

And in conclusion, I really appreciate your input and dedication, will make those changes.
Cheers,
Darja

I meant the final decision of XML literals. If I remembered correctly, the decision is supposed to be made in the October meeting.

I meant the final decision of XML literals. If I remembered correctly, the decision is supposed to be made in the October meeting.

Eventually they did not vote on these SIPs. Supposed to be done at the committee retreat.

[yangbo]

Thank you!

[darja]

The SIP Committee is still figuring out how to approach the upcoming changes, so no final decision have been made yet. They are currently having in-depth face-to-face conversations and I will soon post what they came up with. Again, no final decisions have been made about the features themselves, this meeting is more about organisation, how to move forward with the time constraints and such.
