GSoC2015

Hello!

I am 2nd year IT student at Budapest University of Technology and Economics 
and I would like to participate in GSoC this year. I am also a Scala fan, 
so I'm eager to help the Scala community. I have a good experience with 
Scala, I use it since 2011. I have some smaller projects on github 
<https://github.com/laci37>. I would like to ask some questions about the 
project ideas, so I can choose which one to propose to. I also have an own 
idea to propose.

*Library-style build tool*
If I understand well this library should help you to write a simple Scala 
application that can compile a Scala project. So compiling a project from 
code would look like first compiling the application that will compile the 
full project, and then run the application. The other use I see in this 
build tool is to be able to compile a project with the REPL. Did I 
understand the job well?

*ScalaMeter extensions*
This project would be interesting because I could learn a lot about 
benchmarking. My question is that is it a problem that I know little about 
benchmarking and profiling?

*Improved Scala scripts*
This is my own idea.  I want to improve the usability of Scala as a 
scripting language. The main limiting factors are as I see right now the 
long time it take to bootstrap the JVM for the REPL and the compilation 
time. I would like to write a program that keeps the REPL alive and when I 
execute a scala script from bash it runs the script. To improve the 
compilation time the REPL should cache compiled scripts. 

I would much appreciate some comments on these project ideas, and on 
whether I should develop them more. I'm looking forward to your answer.

Best regards,
László Mérő
