One thing that seems to come up frequently in generics (especially with what seems to be the quintessential example for Fortran), is specifying a "Trait" (or a "template" procedure) in...
Design for a Generics facility in programming languages now appears to suffer from The Abundance Syndrome - The Problem of Plenty. There is just too much information out there on...
@tclune, @rouson, @FortranFan, @mleair, Magne and myself discussed the various paths forward. It seems the available options are: * templates without concepts (e.g., traditional C++ templates) * templates with concepts...
In a [**note** ](https://mailman.j3-fortran.org/pipermail/j3/2020-October/012554.html) to the J3 mailing list, Robert Corbett mentioned another attempt to introduce Generics in Go language. The Go Blog explains their motivation and current thinking: [The...
This will ensure that only designated individuals/teams can merge changes into the main branch. (To which I will be renaming the current primary branch shortly.)
To Do ------ - [X] Add @certik and @tclune to the new generics team. - [X] Invite @FortranFan and @mleair to be members of the j3-fortran GitHub organization. - [...
Here is the conclusion from a meeting with @tclune, @rouson, @FortranFan, @mleair, Magne and myself: The WG5 Committee decided in Japan (2019) not to pursue macros at this time. Our...

This proposes a feature and some possible syntax to help alleviate the problem of long template argument lists.
