Hi,
I'm posting this on bhalf of a group of 4 students from the final
year of Department of Computer Science and Engineering,University
of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. We are required to do a 8 months long
project in our final year. The
project should consist of both a research and development
component and
an implementation. Our group is interested in areas such as,
* Information security
* Cloud
* Parallel computing
* Compilers
* Operating Systems
* Distributed systems
We’d like to know if the D programming language project has any
project
ideas that falls within our interest areas.
* Since you ask and mentioned compilers I would say a lexer/parser/front
end written in D. This should be usable as a library which the following
could be build upon:
* Syntax highlighter
* Compiler
* Refactoring
* Static analyzer
* Various other features usually found in an IDE
There are several other developers working on lexers/parsers, perhaps
helping out with existing project could be a good idea.
* Implementing support for extern (Objective-C), aka ABI compatibility
with Objective-C. This is already worked on but the project has staled:
http://michelf.ca/projects/d-objc/
* Implementing support for the new WinRT in Windows 8.
* I think it would be really cool if D could get support for AST
(Abstract Syntax Tree) macros.
Other ides for Phobos are:
* New XML module
* Finishing an allocator design + new containers
* A package dealing with cryptographic
