[Jflex-devel] Google Summer-of-code 2019

[Régis D. <re...@go...>]

Hello Gerwin,

How do you feel about making a proposal for a summer of code project (hence
for next summer, but applications will be until Jan 2019 I assume).

The idea of summer of code (g.co/gsoc <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/>)
is to offer students an opportunity to contribute to an open-source project
for 3 months and even get paid by Google in return.

I think we could offer a very nice project, for instance:

   - refactor the code to have an AST. Stretch: produce code from this AST,
   rather than with println()
   - support antlr
   - have our own parser generator
   - revamp the syntax of the lexer specification.

Any other idea? For instance, those were the proposals for gRPC
<https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/summerofcode/ideas.md> or proposal
for a compiler in open-chemistry
<https://gist.github.com/kunalsharma05/c95b1d53ed1bcdf347fb0cbf43d0c014>

What do you think?
