Find a champion to get this proposal to stage 0

[TehShrike]

There seems to be consensus on the question of operator precedence, and I really want to see this pull request merged so that I can start using the operator!

However, on that pull request it looks like the operator needs a "TC39 champion". I'm not up on the protocol, so I'm opening this issue so that other people who have a better idea what's up can list the next steps for finding a champion and getting this proposal brought up at whatever meetings are appropriate.

C'mon, let's make this happen!

[TehShrike]

Can anyone paste a link to reading material on how TC39 championship works?

@TehShrike

Heres some links:

https://tc39.github.io/process-document/
https://github.com/orgs/tc39/people <-- "champions" ?
http://tc39wiki.calculist.org/about/harmony/
https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

If you have a new proposal you want to get into the language, you first need a TC39 champion. Head to *es-discuss to find one. If you already have a TC39 champion, send a pull request to add a link to your proposal to the Current Proposals list or the stage zero list.

It'll be easier to find a champion if you have spec text. Has anyone tried writing some?

Keep the dream alive!

As a PayPal delegate for TC39, I'd like to champion this proposal. I've never done that before though so I'll probably need help from folks :) I'll be in touch! 🎉

[bterlson]

@rbuckton and I are championing a proposal similar to this with Ron Buckton. Happy to work together! Sorry I haven't been active on this repo - there's a lot of moving pieces I wanted to figure out first. The gist of what I will propose is the |> syntax that composes with syntax for partial application (foo(10, ?)) and possibly a smaller form of the bind operator for this-based pipelining.

The dream is alive!

[appsforartists]

@bterlson, which repo will you be using?

[bterlson]

@appsforartists an official TC39 one, not sure of more yet though.

[jamen]

@bterlson That sounds great. Please be sure to notify here, because I actually like what you proposed there a bit more (reminds me more of Elixir). 😄

[mikehaas763]

@bterlson awesome 👍

[hzoo]

Looks like this will possibly be presented at next week's meeting: https://github.com/tc39/agendas/blob/master/2017/07.md

[littledan]

I put myself up as backup champion. If @bterlson doesn't end up presenting it as he mentioned above, I will, to get things moving. But, to be clear, I'm more than happy to have @bterlson and @rbuckton taking this on.

[bterlson]

@gilbert can you transfer this repository to TC39? First transfer to me and then I can transfer to the TC39 organization.

[bterlson]

Also interesting to people in this thread: https://github.com/rbuckton/proposal-partial-application

[gilbert]

@bterlson Transfer requested.

[babakness]

This is awesome... I have to admit that looking at it I wonder... so if we have syntax sugar for pipe, why not compose too? So a <| operator as well as the |> operator. It just feels more complete with both.

Compose is more natural when thinking about components, because the outer contains the inner, i.e.:

outerComponent <| middleComponent <| innerComponent

[gilbert]

@babakness I think it's best to discuss that in a separate issue.

[bterlson]

@babakness @rbuckton is thinking about exactly this, perhaps he can provide more details. I agree with a separate issue though, good future extension.

[bterlson]

@gilbert I'm very very sorry, I missed the transfer request window :( Can you send again? I'll be available for the next ~7 hours to accept it.

[gilbert]

@bterlson No problem, sent again.

[bterlson]

@gilbert done :)

[Alexsey]

Is there anything else need to be done before adding this to https://github.com/tc39/proposals/blob/master/stage-0-proposals.md ?

[littledan]

It has to be discussed at the meeting. I put it on the agenda for the last meeting, but we ran out of time. We'll see if we can discuss it next time.

[Alexsey]

It finally gets to the proposals repo, and not just on stage 0, but directly to stage 1! Thank you @bterlson and other champions who take this proposal from making it happened! I think issue may be closed now

[TehShrike]
