> I just want to know what the state of affairs is. The current state of affairs in terms of visibility and privacy in the languages is "defined and implemented with possible bugs." What's documented in the manual/tutorial is what is intended and currently implemented in the compiler, and if there is a deviation from those semantics then that's a bug which needs to be fixed.
That being said, nothing is truly set in stone until we're backwards compatible (in theory), but there's a fairly large consensus that the current set of privacy/visibility rules are what we indeed want. I would certainly be willing to talk about other concrete proposals! It gets more difficult to change what we have as time goes by, but if a new idea is lightyears better than what we currently have, it's worth knowing about at least. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
