@egor.zhdan @Alex_L
this is Ahmad Ayman , am in the final state of my preparing for submitting my proposal for GSoC-22 for [ Providing Swift overlays for C++ standard library types] , so i want to be sure about what it ,
first and foremost : the project which mentioned is not about importing C++ STL or creating them because it's already existed and we can call them with ( import std) , so we can use library like (std::vector , std::string ... ) , but it's about making stllib which we import more usable and useful by adding extensions to existing types , like making iterator for for-in loop i hope am right about that , so if that is right
about the implementation phase i understated that we'll work with Cmake to built script for swift compiler to incorporate the overlay module and we can work with the "ClangImporter compiler " which handles the interoperability between (swift) and (O-c which built upon c language) or some thing like that, so i want to know which skills make me qualified for acceptance , and if the idea which i've about the project is right

Hi Ahmad, looks like your understanding of the project is correct. I don't think I can give an exact set of requirements for acceptance, we will evaluate the proposals that we will get for the project, and choose the most promising one.
