  • How can we reduce the “bus factor” for cricial modules like the type checker, type resolver, etc?

A summary of the major points raised follows. If you prefer, you can read the full transcript on Zulip.

Major points: process for refactorings, documentation

Towards the end, we also discussed the procedure we should use for larger compiler refactorings as well as how to ensure the compiler is documented.
