GSoC 2024 Expression of interes

[Aditya Ballaki]

Hi Team,

I'm an incoming graduate student in Computer Engineering at Cornell
University, and I'm keen on participating in GSOC by contributing to
open-source projects before starting my graduate program.
Specifically, I'm interested in working on the Rust GCC compiler.
While I haven't made direct open-source contributions before, I'm
quite familiar with Rust. I've also gained experience with C/C++
through various projects involving low-level hardware programming and
video game development. Moreover, I've worked with several other tech
stacks and production-level code during my internships and research
endeavours.

Please let me know if it's appropriate for me to reach out to any of
the listed mentors (Pierre-Emmanuel Patry, Philip Herron, Arthur
Cohen) to discuss the project further.

Thank you!

Regards,
Aditya

P.S: Re-sent email with the correct string 'GSoC' in the subject line

Wonderful, welcome!

Please note that Rust-GCC projects are a bit special in the sense that
they are often discussed primarily on Zulip of the gcc-rust team:

https://gcc-rust.zulipchat.com/

So you may want to reach out to gcc-rust developers there there as well.

It is, but I'd primarily suggest the zulip link given above.

Good luck!
