Re: [elixir-core:6612] Elixir research projects?

[José Valim]

Hi Hrafn,

I took a look at my notes to see if I could find anything relevant in the compiler/stdlib and nothing came up. Most of the optimizations we can perform we already do so. Maybe you could find something by studying functions in the standard library individually but I cannot think of anything systematic. 

However, you may be able to contribute to related projects. For example:

1. ExDoc - we are discussing converting the JavaScript aspects to Elm

2. GenStage + Flow - it would be nice to benchmark solutions written in Flow against solutions in other stacks such as Apache Spark. To be relevant, you would need powerful machines, however.

3. Hex - Hex has many possible areas of improvements listed in the issues tracker, including some important features like supporting multiple repositories.

I am not sure if those fit your criteria.

Hi everyone!

I'm currently doing a masters in computer science at Cambridge University and one of the courses that I'm currently enrolled in allows me to pick a {programming language, compilers, interpreter}-related research project that I could get finished in ~1-2 months, part-time. 

Being an Elixir enthusiast I decided to come here and ask whether the Elixir community has any potentially interested research projects that I could carry out, for example within the realm of performance improvements or stdlib improvements?

Regards,

Hrafn
