How to reflect experimental features to spec compliance matrix

Open jack-berg opened this issue 10 months ago • 5 comments

As discussed in the 4/2/24 Spec SIG, the spec compliance matrix is ambiguous in terms of how to represent experimental features:

  • Should experimental features be given rows?
  • How does a language indicate the stability of its implementation?

By representing this information, we can use the spec compliance matrix to track implementations of experimental features, which are a prerequisite to stabilization. Additionally, we can convey to users that stability of a particular feature in a language.
