[Haskell-cafe] my gsoc project topic

[Csaba Hruska]

Hi!

I'm wondering about the topic of my gsoc project.
I'm interested in these areas:
- improving cabal (more sophisticated dependency, multi version, compiler
support, etc)
  This could be useful from practical view.

- Another idea is to improve GHC's new LLVM backend.
  (eg: support cross module optimization, integrate with llvm-gcc or clang
to support full project link time optimization, even using FFI)
  I'm really keen on compiler technology, and i know llvm for 3 years. (and
i'm familiar with clang too)
  I also have a perspective to GHC's compile stages and intermediate
languages.
  But I've seen that other people are interested in LLVM backend gsoc
project too.

- Another LLVM related idea is to create a framework to support writing llvm
passes in haskell, this should be based on existing llvm haskell binding.

- I'm also interested in computer graphics. While this kind of project could
look really good, the community could not benefit from it.
 eg: *write a pure FRP based 3D game, withs existing haskell libs
      *improve lambdacube 3D engine, etc
 IMO the big thing will come in these area when DPH and GPGPU will be stable
and supported.

What do you think about these?

Cheers,
