I want to clarify something: "post 1.0" does not mean "low priority" or "will never come to Rust". Post-1.0 means just that: post 1.0. Without taking a position on this feature in particular, there are many high priority features slated for post 1.0. Think of 1.0 as a sort of minimum viable product in which plenty of useful software can be written productively and enjoyably, and is backwards-compatible so that we don't break people's code anymore.

Thanks and definitely; I am just asking if this is slated already for development by anybody or group of people that I am unaware of, despite it is of no immediate concern.

    Greetings,

My question is related tohttps://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/11621 which has not seen meaningful updates so far. I decided to ask in a
    separate thread rather than
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2014-January/008252.html because I have not been able to find any updates to Pierre Talbot's
    https://github.com/ptal/rust-ctfe-proposal  which is partially discussed
    there. Given that languages like C++ and D permit through various ways
    some form of compile time function evaluation:

    (1) Is this ever coming to Rust or is it considered so low priority that
    it is something for post 1.0?
    (2) What about Pierre Talbot's initial work, is it to continue (lack of
    updates for 7
    months) ?
    (3) How many people are working together or independently on CTFE?
    (4) Is there a possibility of a group of people working on this,
    theoretically at least?

    It has been said in the irc channel that there is somewhat no opposition
    to adding this feature, but there seems to be no concrete plan about it.
    Please clarify if somebody has better insight on this.

    Thank you.
