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 <https://github.com/hexpm/hex/issues> listed in the issues tracker, including some important features like supporting multiple repositories. I am not sure if those fit your criteria. *José Valim* www.plataformatec.com.br Skype: jv.ptec Founder and Director of R&D On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 8:30 PM, Hrafn Eiríksson <[email protected]> wrote: > 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 > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elixir-lang-core" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/ms > gid/elixir-lang-core/266b2437-f773-46b2-a273-95285281a2b3% > 40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elixir-lang-core/266b2437-f773-46b2-a273-95285281a2b3%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
