Hello, I am interested in this as well. Shekhar, Aaron maybe we can collectively prioritize a list of things that need to be accomplished in `SymEngine` as there seems to be a lot of work. Also, there hasn't been a new release of SymEngine in a while, we can set some benchmarks and work towards its next release. Regards Yathartha Joshi
