Hi all, I'm Jayatheerth, a computer science student interested in compilers and systems programming. I’ve recently come across the GCC Rust project and would love to contribute.
I’ve previously contributed to Git (the version control system), so I’m familiar with workflows like `git format-patch`, `git send-email`, and communicating via mailing lists. I’m also comfortable working in large C and Rust codebases. I’ve taken a compiler design course at university, so I understand the theoretical concepts (lexing, parsing, ASTs, IR, etc.), but I’d like to gain more practical experience. I’ve gone through the README and the Developer Book linked in the GCC Rust GitHub repository. If there are any additional docs, resources, or beginner-friendly tasks I could start with, I’d really appreciate the guidance. Looking forward to learning and contributing. Thank you, - Jayatheerth
