[GSoC 2023] Rust front-end: Improving User Errors

[GSoC 2023] Rust front-end: Improving User Errors

[Panagiotis Foliadis]

Greetings,

My name is Panagiotis Foliadis, Ι'm 26 years old and I am from Athens, Greece.

I'm interesting in the Rust frοnt-end project and especially at Improving user errors. I'm a self taught 
software developer with solid knowledge about Rust, and also Ι'm doing my internship that mainly uses C. I'm really 
interested in the low level side of programming and especially compilers. I have already built gcc from source and 
did some studying on the documentation to acquire some basic knowledge about the compiler.

I'd like some guidance from the mentors prior to making a proposal, if there is any to give.

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 them there as well.

I assume you have already read through https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode
The page has guidelines on what we expect to find a proposal.  Basically
you need to figure out what the project would entail and write it down,
with a little bit of detail and milestones.

Feel free to ask about any specifics either here on the mailing list or
on the Zulip linked above.

Good luck!
