GSoC18: Project 2
BalticBytes opened this issue · comments
Hello!
My name is Christopher and I am very interested in taking up project 2 for the Google Summer of Code. So I wanted to make first contact here. Frankly I would be even more inclined to take on project 1 to get some first hands on experience in Python, but I think that project is better off with someone who knows his or her Python. I am just happy that there is a Java version as well!
I like to write clean and efficient code. Refactoring and iterating over something that just works is in my opinion always a good idea if I think that there is some way to make it faster or more efficient.
For teaching purposes I think that a more intuitive approach could be a good way of getting familiar with the concept behind the algorithms. Even if intuitive means somewhat inefficient. Although maybe the best approach is to be consistent with the other code snippets, e.g. being as efficient as possible, very intuitive and easy to understand, etc.
I am interested in the point of view of the community and Mr Norvigs about this.
