Hi folks, I wanted to give an update on the "web_view" C++ standard library proposal.
I have relayed the feedback received on this thread on multiple occasions, and our concerns about this proposal as a browser implementer have been noted by the committee. However, the proposal has been received positively by other participants of the committee, including other browser vendors, and is continuing to be developed and reviewed. While it's still at an early stage (still in front of the Library Evolution Incubator group), it is being actively developed and the proposed API is becoming more fleshed out. Given that, would anyone be interested in reviewing the proposed API and providing feedback on its design? I feel like the committee would be receptive to constructive technical feedback, and as a group with experience in developing embedding APIs, we are in a particularly good position to provide such feedback. The latest draft of the proposal can be found here: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p1108r4.html Thanks!
