Hello SymPy Community,

My name is Fares Shaaban], and I am an aspiring contributor interested in participating in Google Summer of Code 2026 with SymPy.

I have been exploring the project ideas list and setting up my development environment (Linux/VS Code). While I have a solid foundation in Python and Object-Oriented Programming, I realized that many of the physics-heavy projects require advanced domain knowledge that I am still acquiring.

Therefore, I am very interested in working on the Code Generation (Codegen) module. I believe this fits my skill set better as it focuses on software design patterns, recursion, and logic rather than complex physical equations.

My current plan to prepare for the application period: 

  • I am currently trying to understand the Sympy development workflow,
  •  Setting the development environment like installing sympy codebase,
  •  exploring the library and be at least not be scared from working with a large codebase like this
  • Learning how to use git/github as explained in the Sympy doucmentation

I would appreciate any guidance on the following:

  • Is the Code Generation project likely to be a priority for GSoC 2026?

  • Are there specific "modernization" tasks or new language supports (like Rust or Julia) that mentors are particularly interested in this year?

Thank you for your time and for maintaining this amazing library. I look forward to contributing!

Best regards,

Fares Shaaban
