Presumably less work will be needed on the language's frontend itself, but rather on the supporting libraries. Apart from a solid knowledge of the [[POSIX]] API, working knowledge of the Google Go programming language is a must. Some Hurd knowledge will have to be acquired while working on the project. Designing and implementing [[language_bindings]] is a follow-up project. Possible mentors: Ian Lance Taylor: gccgo bits, [[Thomas Schwinge (tschwinge)|tschwinge]]: Hurd bits. Exercise: Fix one of the problems preventing *gccgo* from working on the Hurd. --- [[Open Issue page|open_issues/gccgo]]. [Entry in the GCC wiki](http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#gccgo_hurd).
