Status SIP-21

[MartinSenne]

Hi Heather,

can you just say a few words about

• the current state of SIP-21
• dependency on libraries ( I'n able to build with 2.10.4 and

      libraryDependencies <+= (scalaVersion)("org.scala-lang" % "scala-reflect" % _),
      libraryDependencies ++= (
        if (scalaVersion.value.startsWith("2.10")) List("org.scalamacros" % "quasiquotes" % "2.0.0-M3" cross CrossVersion.full)
        else Nil

• your current version of these libraries you are working with
• a statement of "if" and "when" spores will be integrated to Scala
• current problems / issues

Many thanks for answering so many question in advance,

Martin

Hi @nightwolfzor and @MartinSenne, I'm not Heather but i'm doing some progress on the project right now, and I find myself capable of answering your questions. The status of the spores is good, there's a PR to be merged soon that improves considerably pickling/unpickling spores with the next release of scala-pickling. In the next days, I'd like to add more tests to spores, check that there're no bugs and make it more stable.

Regarding 2.10.x, we don't support it since our macros are only 2.11.x compatible. If you are really interested in this feature, let me know and I could try to figure out something.

We don't know yet if this is going to be finally integrated into Scala, though. We're on hold.
