Google Summer of Code projects: TOML and CSV support

Gabriel439 · May 19, 2021, 2:14am

This year Simon and I will be mentoring two students for Google Summer of Code who will be working on improving Dhall’s support for file formats

Julio Grillo will work on bidirectional TOML support for Dhall
Marcos Lerones will work on bidirectional CSV support for Dhall

Right now is th community bonding period for GSoC, so I’d like to welcome them to our community and they will briefly introduce themselves on this thread soon.

Hello

I’m Julio (he/him) and I’m excited to use Haskell and contribute to the functional programming ecosystem! I’m currently studying computer science and in my free time I like taking pictures and surfing

Hi there!

I’m Marcos (he/him) and I’m currently studying Computer Science in Venezuela. I’ve been a fan of Haskell and functional programming for a few years now and I’m thrilled to make a real contribution to the community. Apart from programming I also like playing guitar and hiking/camping

The projects are complete now!

I just wanted to thank @ear7h and @MarcosJLR for their work on their respective Google Summer of Code projects. They linked to their final reports in these two posts:

They both did an amazing job and I enjoyed mentoring them on these projects. I also want to thank @sjakobi for his help mentoring these projects, too.
