This is the "punch list" of items that need addressing before switching nom to be the new 'master' branch, and before releasing a nom-based distribution. Each item below contains an importance (1 == must have, 2 == ought to have, 3 == nice to have) for branch and distribution, an estimate of the difficulty (* == easy, **** = hard), and any identified responsible parties.
- Enums to level of master (2, 1, ???, ???)
- Define new operators (2, 1, **, pmichaud) (awaiting other regex updates)
- modules working with nom (3, 1, ???, ???)
Note that this isn't strictly in order, though things nearer to the top are likely to get focus sooner.
Current fails that people are likely to encounter (no particular order):
- Order enumeration
Things that aren't blockers but might be worth knowing about:
- attribute
:=doesn't work in CORE.setting (works outside of setting, though) (initial digging suggets it's a BOOTSTRAPATTR issue, thus why we only see it in the setting) - no rw-accessors for natively typed attributes (yet? spec isn't clear)
when needs to properly find use correct outer scope
Get ::= correcter, and a bit more stuff on := also.
- Enums as roles
- Non-numeric enums
- Anonymous enums
my @a; needs to initialize @a to be the Array type object (not an Array instance).
Same for my %h and hashes.
- END in pre-compiled mainline case
They are classes right now, which is wrong.
