Project Name: Julia backend for Cantor

A Brief Description: The goal of the project is to implement Julia support for Cantor worksheet application with folowing features: command execution, variable management, syntax-highlighting, inline plotting and binding to existing wizards.

Status:

Completed :
- Command execution
  - Error handling
  - Interrupt handling
  - Multiline input
  - Syntax errors
  - Unit-tests
- Syntax highlighting
  - Simple keyword highlighting
  - Highlighting based on extracted symbols and their types
  - Correct highlighting of string literals and comments (ported also to Python backend)
- Variable management
  - Showing available variables
  - Saving, loading, clearing, adding new variable
  - Caching of modules variables for faster update

This is what I learned during GSoC:

Working with Phabricator
Get deeper knowledge of Qt5
Get familiar with KDEFrameworks
Understanding good Julia internals, especially part connected with embedding
More advanced Git stuff, like rebases
