[petsc-users] Fortran interfaces: Google Summer of Code 2025?

[Barry Smith]

   Martin,

   I have restarted in the last week on 7517 and plan for it to be in the March release. 

   As part of the work I have developed new Pythoncode  that scraps the code for signatures for all the functions, enums, objects etc and from this constructs the Fortran binding. The same scraping could be used for other languages so I am hoping automatic bindings can be done for other languages, for example Rust, even Python. So perhaps we should consider a summer of code project for other such languages?
