[binji]

The next subgroup meeting is June 16, 2020 at 9am PDT (6pm CET). As with other Wasm meetings, we'll host this on zoom.

No registration required if you attended a previous meeting. Fill out the form here if it's your first time: https://forms.gle/JehrAB4gWbtHjybt9.

Please respond to this issue with topics for the agenda.

Agenda:

1) Update: v8 GC prototype (@jakobkummerow)
1) Update: Kotlin GC implementation (@skuzmich)
1) Discussion: Linear memory GCs (@kmiller68)
1) Discussion: criteria/objectives/requirements for GC proposal (@fgmccabe)

[fgmccabe]

I think a discussion of criteria is apropos. With so many ideas swirling
around, it seems necessary to get better alignment.

Is there a transcript of the meeting earlier today?

[binji]

@fgmccabe I agree, how best to do that? Perhaps we should start a list offline in a shared Google doc, then discuss in the meeting.

@lachlansneff I have a PR here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings/pull/571

[RossTate]

Is the plan to essentially complete the remaining items that had been lined up for last meeting to get everyone on the same page?

[binji]

We could, yeah. Though the only things remaining from that list are status updates on VM prototypes, and status updates on language implementations.

@jakobkummerow updated the prototyping thread recently, but it might be good to hear about some specifics. Would you be able to present on Tuesday, Jakob, or would that be too soon? It would also be good to hear updates on SpiderMonkey from @eqrion, if any.

Not sure about who best to contact about language status updates: I believe @skuzmich, @horcrux7, @sabine (and others?) have been experimenting with the v8/SM/wabt implementations, is there much to report there?

Finally, I believe @kmiller68 wanted to have some more discussion about linear memory GCs, so we could add an agenda item for that too.

[kmiller68]

I did want to talk about linear memory GCs. Ugh, I had a new issue written up and everything before my cats decided to sleep on my laptop and reboot it! I'll rewrite it hopefully soon (TM)...

[jakobkummerow]

I don't have much to say beyond what's in our "prototype specification" document, but I can certainly present a brief summary of that doc for folks who haven't read it. And of course I'm happy to answer questions.

[Horcrux7]

Not sure about who best to contact about language status updates:

I can not many say. I have restructure my project in the last time and can start with V8 canary now. All what I have test is working.

[skuzmich]

@binji I can do a 5 min intro to Kotlin/Wasm project if there is an empty slot.

[fgmccabe]

I think we should spend some time trying to coalesce on what it is we want to come up with.
That means establishing criteria, objectives, critical success factors and requirements. (If that sounds like a slogan, it's because it is!)

[binji]

OK, I've updated the agenda for tomorrow (see the top comment).

[binji]

Thanks to everyone who attended. Notes will be here soon: https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings/tree/master/gc/2020
