Hi Leandro, I think this is a fabulous idea. Unfortunately, I do not have the bandwidth to take on a GSoC student this year.
I'm bringing this to the attention of the wider Clojure team list as I think this is a great project and if someone has the time to mentor, I'd love to assist and see this happen. - e On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 05:31:29PM -0300, Leandro Doctors wrote: > Dear Elana, > > My name is Leandro Doctors, and I am a fervient (albeit beginner) > Clojure user :-) > > I am seriously considering applying to GSoC 2020 with Debian.
