After receiving the green light from the Process Lead, you can write up your

- idea and submit it as a SIP. It ought to contain a clear specification of the
80
- proposed changes. When such changes significantly alter the compiler internals,
81
- the author is invited to provide a proof of concept. Delivering a basic
82
- implementation can speed up the process dramatically. Even compiler hackers find
83
- very difficult to predict the interaction between the design and the
84
- implementation, so the sooner we have an evidence of a working prototype that
85
- interacts with all the features in Scala, the better. Otherwise, committee
86
- members may feel that the proposed changes are impossible and automatically
87
- dismiss them. If your changes are big or somewhat controversial, don’t let
88
- people hypothesize about them and show results upfront.
