Hello,
Myself Deepanshu Joshi, pursuing Bachelors in Computer Science. I would
like to display my interest towards the Rust Front End project. Currently I
am working on my own compiler and hence contributing to this project will
help me expand my knowledge.

I would request you to brief me regarding the resources and the tech stack
required for this project.

Lastly, I would request you to assign me some good first issues as per
your requirement.

Thank you,
Deepanshu Joshi

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.

There are those listed in the "Before you apply" section of the idea
page https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply and
additionally you probably need to know a thing or two about Rust as well.

Good luck!
