Years ago I was the GSoC admin and I filled in all the forms and

rather late completing the last set of forms.  I failed to notice 
one button on the final form of the submission that I had to 
click to complete the submission, and I thought everything was 
done. I only found out the next day that the the application

Better luck next year.

D is a fantastic efficient and fast replacement of Python which

I've written bindings for nlopt and a wrapper to make it more 
D-like. Close to releasing it. I'm also thinking about doing the 
same thing for GLPK, but I want to do other non-D stuff before I 
get to that. The only optimization library I'm familiar with in 
Coin-OR is ipopt and that's C++, which might be more difficult to 
get working.


Being able to call Stan from D would definitely be cool. It looks 
beyond my expertise to get it working though. I think part of the 
difficulty is that while it is written in C++, there isn't a C++ 
interface. I think they are working on one though. I looked at 
the code for rstan and the command line interface and couldn't 
make much headway in understanding what's going on.


It should be possible to do some manipulation in D and pipe it to 
the command line interface of Stan. Alternately, you could try 
calling pystan or rstan from D. If you make any progress on these 
approaches, I would be interested.

As a prospective student, fingers are crossed for D.


Same here. I started working on some proposals already. I really 
hope D gets accepted.

D is a fantastic efficient and fast replacement of Python which 
even has great plotting and other analysis features as ggplotd! 
To gain traction in numerical and statistical computing it is 
important to provide great optimization, automatic differential 
(AD) (reversed-mode AD (e.g. in mc-stan.org for Bayesian stuff) 
and/or forward-mode as e.g. for R at GSOC-2010 - there is no 
reason for numerical diff these days anymore, and you may 
mess-up your stuff using it!), and Bayesian routines. D is 
laking on these basic features (my personal opinion - correct 
me if I am wrong).


Good starting points for a GSOC project would be "to port" 
mc-stan.org or some optimization algorithms from Coin-OR.org 
(please let me be more particular and independent of existing 
work if there is any interest for such a project!).


I am not a D specialist but getting more and more into it and 
up to happily mentor this GSOC-project (maybe there would be 
(co-)mentors with more D experiences).


(I already initiated a successful GSOC application on 
algorithmic differentiation in R together with John Nash for 
GSOC 2010 (student: Chidambaram Annamalai) - unfortunately I 
did not have the capacity to mentor/support the project as I 
had to finish my PhD during this time)



Sorry, I just missed that the deadline  is UTC 19:00. Maybe next 
year :-)

Sadly I am not really sure what that comment was suggesting. Given
there was a claim of 3x speed up there must have been code. If that
code could be put forward then experiments could be run. Possibly
something for GSoC in that alone.

Cool, I did not know there're plans for std.i18n.

By the way, I'm not student anymore, so no GSOC for me.

Would you be interested in mentoring that?

Also, for anything Phobos related it would be good to have 
general consensus that the project would eventually make its 
way into std.experimental at least. The discussion you linked 
to proposed the idea, but there wasn't much follow on. Perhaps 
a proposal should be floated on the General thread.


I am still in D kindergarten and this is way out of my depth. 
Sorry for the noise.

No need to apologize.  Maybe if you can't do it, we can find 
someone who would .. but I always ask as a matter of principle :o)

Please withdraw Cmsed. I've since stopped working on it. In 
favor of writing a web application server. Which should solve 
most of the problems it had.


Will do!
