Hi everybody, gsoc would be interesting, but we'd have to have a clear and generally useful project, I think (i.e. not a research project).
I don't have time to host a project, but can offer support. Ketil: regarding your project idea, I would go with v. 1 for a number of reasons: + Haskell is /not/ slow, we can easily be within x2 of C + I have in-depth knowledge of the vector library, not as deep as Roman or Geoffrey, but enough + we are actively researching high-performance multi-tape grammars, including alignments - limited time on my side will be a suboptimal Viele Gruesse, Christian * Ketil Malde <ke...@malde.org> [26.02.2014 14:47]: > > Hi, list > > The sun is shining outside, the first flowers are rearing their pretty > heads above ground, and the air is light and flows freely.
