Hi Chandan- Thanks for your interest! As you get more familiar with Traffic Control, I think you'll see we align well to your languages - we have components in C++ (Traffic Server), Javascript (Traffic Portal), Golang (Traffic Monitor, Traffic Ops), and more. Varnish, although not technically part of Apache or Traffic Control is also written in C.
In case you haven't seen it yet, please take a look at the Apache Summer of Code page: https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html It has some instructions on how to put together and submit a project proposal and the all important deadlines. Once you take a look over some of the docs Rob suggested or try things out, come join our Slack. We'd be glad to go over some of the details with you and put together a project proposal.
