Hi,
I'm Akshay, computer science student from India. I have decent experience with Python and system programming. Being a Mozillian, I have always been a big fan of Rust and Servo project. I have previously dabbled with Rust – and think of it as next system programming language. I hope to improve my Rust skills as part of this project and write production quality code.
I have also been Google Summer of Code student at Inclusive Design Institute in 2013 and Mozilla in 2014.
Few questions and ideas related to the project -
- While the reason to switch away from handlebars makes sense - Why do we want to using Python as templating language? What are some of the use cases, where Python could be beneficial over any other templating language?
- Are there any existing projects using Python as templating language? How is this going to be different than passing the context data to a Python script?
- For the SQL-like syntax mentioned in project description - Can we design it as Python library using Rust via CFFI [0].
I have filled the student application form. I'm already trying to understand the correlation library and playing around with existing tests. How can I get more involved and better understand the requirements of the project?
