Topics:

• "Related Packages" sections in new packages.
• GSoC ideas and potential mentors (TL;DR: who mentors which project depends on the cohort of top applications and their focus area)

I had some questions related to dger

[aayush0325]

Good evening,

I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend this meet due to personal reasons but I just wanted to clarify something for other contributors especially those who are targeting the GSoC project for adding wasm implementations of stats/strided/*routines.

Currently, the stats/base/* directory is a mixture of base functionality and strided routines. Ideally we would want the strided routines to be in a separate stats/strided/* namespace. Some work has started on this front, there have been numerous PRs for adding C ndarray interface and some basic cleanup for strided routines in stats/base/*. These packages are then migrated to stats/strided/*. So for doing a complete wasm implementation:

• There should be an ndarray API for each routine in stats/base/*
• That routine should be migrated to stats/strided/*
• And then you would compile the wasm package using our make commands.

I've been looking into the process of automating the migration process so we can expect the required packages to be in the stats/strided/* namespace soon (hopefully)

In the meanwhile if you find a routine that doesn't have an ndarray interface kindly feel free to raise a PR to add that. You should be able to find single precision routines that require a bunch of these PRs.

Sample PRs: stdlib-js/stdlib#4763, stdlib-js/stdlib#4745 etc

I need some help debugging code for my issue that I am currently working on. stdlib-js/stdlib#6163

[impawstarlight]

I'd like to know about the general workflow of implementing the array, iter, stream and strided wrappers for newly added PRNGs in random/base. I read from a past PRNG proposal comment that this should be an automated process with some setup work but I need a bit more details on that in order to estimate the time required for this part to efficiently plan out my proposal.

In the issue WebAssembly implementations for extended BLAS routines, other than the routines listed in the tracking issue, are there any other routines we need to consider under this GSoC project?
Also, do we need to create a new namespace for the WebAssembly implementation of extended BLAS routines?

Little insight on adding support for Float16Array

[gkbishnoi07]

I'm working on the ESLint 9 migration, transitioning from JSON config to config.js, which is a GSoC project. However, I want to write a proposal for another project while continuing to contribute to this one. That way, we can work on solving both projects simultaneously

Can I send my draft proposal for GSoC 2025?

Thanks everyone!
