Hi guys, I am Mohammed Faisal Anees, a second year Computer Science undergrad at IIIT Hyderabad, India. I was really happy when I got to know that Scrapy(which has helped me a lot in my projects:) ) is taking part in GSOC 2014. What's better than contributing to an organisation that has helped you a lot ?!!
I was interested in this idea on the ideas page "Support for spiders in other languages". TI had some questions regarding this: 1) Do we have to make wrappers or should the code be written in the other language from scratch ? 2) Quoting from the ideas page "The goal of this project is to allow developers to write spiders simply and easily in any programming language, while permitting Scrapy to manage concurrency, scheduling, item exporting, caching, etc." Does this mean this project will enable any programming language to use Scrapy ... or will we be adding support for languages separately one by one? 3) Which language will be better ? This question will depend on what the target audience is .. Developers or Scientists ? We can expect developers to be familiar with Javascript/Ruby/Java/Python/etc , Whereas Scientists would know C/C++/Python/Java. This is just my view, I might be wrong too !!
