I am Ruchir Chheda, I have read briefly the ideas proposed for 2020. I did really like the ideas related to Code generation and Parsing functions under the Computer graphics, Infrastructure section. I have read the 'introduction to contributing' link, mentioned earlier. How should I start with the same? It would be great if anyone could guide me with the same.

Also I wanted to know what is the current status related to the above two topics.

Hi Ruchir,
                Thanks for showing interest in the Code generation and parsing modules. To get started with contributing you can take a look at the issue tracker(https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues), and find the issues you're interested in helping with. That will help you get familiar with the SymPy codebase and the ecosystem.

As for the status, the codegen module supports code generation for the listed languages, which was also extended to support matrix expressions and Fortran code generation last GSoC. The parsing module currently supports parsing C and Fortran source code along with LaTeX and autolev and the plan is to add parsing support for some more languages like Julia, Octave etc. this year. Looks like the ideas page for the module needs to updated, I'll do it soon.

In the meantime you can get started with getting familiar with SymPy and contributing. Feel free to ask if you have any questions, here or on gitter(https://gitter.im/sympy/sympy)

Happy contributing :)
