Is there anything I could be helpful in?

Hi Olexandr,

Thanks for reaching out.

Perhaps the easiest and most effective way to contribute at this stage in the project (not the only way of course) is to select a use case that interests you, implement a prototype using Babylon, and then provide feedback based on your experience. In the process of doing that you may also encounter bugs that could be fixed or uncertainty requiring discussion. You will likely require some tolerance for APIs that may be lacking convenience functionality or inconsistently named etc. Over time we will iterate to improve this, in part based on feedback.

Two uses cases I think are interesting are:

- Translation of Java code models to SQL statements (like C# LINQ)

- Translation of Java code models to ONNX graphs (like ONNX script [1])

I understand that important implementations can be delegated to someone from the outside of the team, but if there is any things that were put aside as non-prioritized for now like some specific tests, internals optimization or anything else, I would be glad to take it on to become a part of this fantastic project!
