Hello everyone!
My name is Matthew Sedam, and I am interested in Chapel for Google Summer
of Code 2017. I am particularly interested in writing an application in
Chapel to show off its performance. For the past month or so, I have been
writing an open source cryptocurrency trading bot in Java. Details can be
found here: https://github.com/matthewsedam/cryptotrade. I was wondering if
this could qualify for GSoC. The code that exists right now is very
primitive. However, I have a working algorithm (tested manually) and a
detailed design. Please see the GitHub issue referenced on the Readme for
the initial 0.1.0 release design. I have just discovered Chapel, and I
believe it could revolutionize my open source project. I was thinking of
using a combination of Chapel and Java. Can someone tell me if this would
be considered or even favored over porting an existing application to use
Chapel? The main goal would be to release 0.1.0, the first stable version
for public use. See the issue referenced in the Readme for 0.1.0 details. A
stretch goal would be implementing arbitrage between multiple exchanges,
which would require heavy Chapel use. Please see the related issue.
I am very passionate about this project. This has been an idea of mine for
many years, and I believe I can use Chapel to enhance the performance of my
application immensely.
Please note that most of the code has not been written. I have spent my
time planning (see open issues) as well as setting up a proper development
system and environment.
Thank you!
Matthew Sedam
