## Project Reports

Monthly: https://rust-gcc.github.io/2023/09/05/2023-08-monthly-report.html

### What are we working on

- Arthur:
- Philip:
- Pierre-Emmanuel: Now that procedural macros can be properly resolved and expanded, we need a way to generate those macro directly in rust. I will be focusing on generating the register hook for proc macro crates.
- Jakub: IR for borrowchecking
- Marc: slow progress on assert!().

## Questions

- Jakub: Suggestions for removal from HIR and desugar in AST lowering:
- IfLet... -> Match
- ForLoop -> Loop+Match: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/expressions/loop-expr.html#iterator-loops
- WhileLetLoop -> Loop+Match: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/expressions/loop-expr.html#iterator-loops
- (maybe) WhileLoop -> Loop+If
- (maybe) ErrorPropagationOperator -> match+return
- must differentiate Option and Result
