<ljharb>
my concerns about advancing decimal remain unchanged. but the rest sgtm
08:15
<sffc>
Should I cancel the Numerics call this Thursday evening?
08:23
<Jesse>
sgtm -- I think we're pretty much up-to-date at the moment
08:29
<sffc>
Only thing is if we wanted to sync with Jordan?
08:31
<Jesse>
ljharb: would you be able to attend the call this week?
08:33
<Jesse>
if not that's ok, but it would be great if you could join the call sometime in the near future
08:33
<Jesse>
it's biweekly
14:48
<ljharb>
i can’t make it this week, but maybe next time
14:48
<sffc>
OK in that case I will delete this week's meeting
15:39
<Jesse>
I've added some initial spec text for Amount: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-measure/pull/28
15:40
<Jesse>
it implicitly depends on intl-keep-trailing-zeroes because the approach to handling Amounts in Intl would be to first render them as strings, which could have trailing zeroes
17:40
<Rob Palmer>
Don't remove Decimal.Amount until we have seen if standalone Amount actually gets Stage 2
Please could you help me understand this logic. If the committee thinks Amount (as a standalone concept) is not ready for Stage 2, why would it then succeed when coupled with Decimal?
18:51
<sffc>
There were concerns raised about it in the breakout session
18:52
<sffc>
Waldemar had some concerns I think about String Amount that didn't apply to Decimal Amount
18:54
<sffc>
Main issue IIRC was that String Amount doesn't have a well defined range of valid values, whereas Decimal Amount just inherits the range from Decimal
18:55
<sffc>
So String Amount is effectively adding yet another numeric type, but Decimal Amount is not since it is just a Decimal with metadata
18:56
<sffc>
I personally don't feel strongly about that point
19:07
<Rob Palmer>
That makes sense. So a more explicit rewording of your refinement would be: "Amount remains in Decimal if string Amount fails to reach Stage 2 due to the committee prefering Decimals over strings."
19:15
<sffc>
I'm not aware of other unresolved concerns about Amount other than perhaps motivation, but I feel good about the progress we've made on that front
19:16
<sffc>
My long standing position (discussed earlier in this channel) remains unchanged

<Rob Palmer>
Apologies I did not read up. I see it now. This whole area generates so much written and verbal content...
