Proposal to focus implementation effort for the next 1-2 years on the
Carbon
toolchain instead of the explorer. This will impact the explorer in a
few ways:
- We will keep the explorer's code in place, building, and passing its
basic
tests. It can remain a good baseline for exploring Carbon's language
features.
- We won't prioritize expanding the explorer's coverage of Carbon
features or
other improvements -- it is good enough for what we need until the
toolchain
catches up.
- We will stop actively fuzzing and expanding test coverage for the
explorer.
- Eventually, when we want to resume work on the explorer, we'll
evaluate the
best platform to build on -- the current explorer codebase or on top of
the
toolchain's semantic IR.
Also tries to update the core readme and contributing docs to reflect
this.
