tracking issue for the Traits Working Group #48416
Description
Introduction
The Traits Working Group is dedicated to all things "trait". In particular, the goal of the working group is to create and maintain the trait engine within the Rust compiler, as well as contributors ideas and insights to the language itself, when it comes to RFCs for traits. See the announcement for more.
Key facts
- Discussion takes place on the rust-lang Zulip in the
#wg-traitsstream - Weekly triage meeting Monday at 2:00pm Boston time (see in your timezone), takes place on Zulip
- Notes in this Dropbox Paper document
How to get involved
Drop in on the Zulip channel and introduce yourself. We're just starting up again after a long hiatus, so hopefully we'll have a bit more structure once we get our footing.

I only have working knowledge of traits, but I'm keen to learn more and can put some time in on a weekly basis :)

I'm interested in working on this. I just know the trait system at an higher level and I'd like to learn it more deeply. I'll take a look at the posts to get a general idea of the things to do.

I'm a PhD student working with Ron Garcia, extending some of Jonatan Milewski's work. I've got a research project right now where I've got a declarative model of traits in a Rust-like language, along with associated type constructors and higher-ranked types, along with a verified inference algorithm. It's almost at a point where there's a draft worth sharing.
I'd love to be involved with this group. I've done some Rust programming, and I've got some previous experience with logic programming.

Interested in contributing however ICan.

This sounds interesting. I'd love to contribute. Thus far, I haven't done more than write RFCs and such. I haven't made any contributions to the compiler itself (outside of the standard library) yet, so I'd love to learn. Count me in =)

Hey all! Glad to hear about the interest. Sorry I didn't get to many specifics today, will try to do so tomorrow and over the weekend.

@nikomatsakis Posted it on the internals post but let you know it this way too.

For those of you following this issue, we're trying to get this group up and going again! We plan to have a meeting (on Zulip, this time) this coming Monday.

I'm going to go ahead and close this. wg-traits has it's own repo
rust-lang/wg-traitswhere we can track things as needed.
