    During my latest role at Trell as an intern, I closely worked with the product team. I implemented internal tools that contributed to improving various growth metrics. One such tool I developed was an image editor that is used by 10+ Language Managers to generate thumbnails. 50 million users receive the generated thumbnails every month in notifications, improving the CTR by 2x.

    Pallene is a statically typed, ahead-of-time-compiled sister language to Lua, with a focus on performance. Programmers can use Pallene instead of C modules to improve the performance of their programs. Pallene achieves this by translating a statically typed compilation unit into a C source file, which is implicitly compiled in the background. In this project, we implemented several new Pallene features, including the dot notation for the built-in modules, the export keyword, and a Pallene to Lua translator (the new Lua backend). The documentation and unit tests for the same were also written.We encountered many interesting challenges during development. One of them is that when we were testing the validity of the translator we had to test both how the generated output looked and how it behaved at runtime. For the latter case, we managed to come up with an elegant design that allowed us to reuse existing unit tests. Thus, we were able to ensure that both the Lua and the C backends produce similar runtime behavior.Google Summer of Code has been an amazing experience! I am really grateful to everyone at LabLua for providing me with this opportunity. I learned about collaborating with others, keeping up with schedules, code reviews, rebasing Git branches, writing unit tests with good coverage, and much more.
