This is a list of potential project ideas for applicants to the Symmetry Autumn of Code. Projects on this page are simply suggestions, not detailed proposals. It is up to any applicant who chooses one to flesh out the idea to a degree suitable for a project proposal as part of the SAoC application.

HTTP/2 for Vibe.d

HTTP/2 is a major revision of the HTTP network protocol. Among its advantages belong decreased latency due to (e.g. due to compressed HTTP headers or pipelined requests) or server-push from the server which allows the server to send resources to the client before they are requested. Therefore, Vibe.d - D's flagship web application framework - would vastly profit from implementing HTTP/2.

Graphics library for resource constrained embedded systems

Create a 2D rasterizer, rich drawing primitives, and 2D graphics library suitable for resource constrained embedded systems (e.g. ARM Cortex-M) to be used in industrial controls, home appliances, medical devices, consumer electronics, and IoT just to name a few. The end goal would be something similar to Segger's emWin. The library would be used to drive LDCs similar to https://www.adafruit.com/product/3396 Requirements:

  • Hardware agnostic; should simply render to a frame buffer
  • No dependencies (No Phobos, no C standard library, and no official D runtime).
  • Consider using -betterC, but a custom minimal D runtime is also a viable option

DUB: D's package manager

DUB - D's package manager - is one of the central infrastructure tools in the D world as a convenient build and package management tool for the D community. With D gaining more and more popularity, it's also a key tool to guarantee D's further adoption. Thus there are many great ideas to improve DUB:
