> Anyway. My point is, we need more backend compiler engineers on WG21 and not just front end, library, and language lawyer guys.

Even better, the current way of working is broken, WG21 should only discuss papers that come with a preview implementation, just like in other language ecosystems.

We have had too many features being approved with "on-paper only" designs, to be proven a bad idea when they finally got implemented, some of which removed/changed in later ISO revisions, that already prove the point this isn't working.
