It is expected and hoped for +that the list of contributors to the codebase will grow quickly. Dotty draws inspiration and code from the original +Scala compiler "nsc", which is developed at `scala/scala`. + +The majority of the dotty codebase is new code, with the exception of the components listed below. We have for each component tried to +come up with a list of the original authors in the `scala/scala` codebase. Apologies if some major authors were omitted +by oversight. + +`dotty.tools.dotc.ast` + +The syntax tree handling is mostly new, but some elements, such as the idea of tree copiers and the `TreeInfo` module, were adopted from `scala/scala`. +The original authors of these parts included Martin Odersky, Paul Phillips and Matthias Zenger. + +`dotty.tools.dotc.config` + +> The configuration components were adapted and extended from `scala/scala`. +> The original sources were authored by Paul Phillips with contributions from Martin Odersky, Miguel Garcia and others. + +`dotty.tools.dotc.core` + +> The core data structures and operations are mostly new. Some parts (e.g. those dealing with names) were adapted from `scala/scala`. +> These were originally authored by Martin Odersky, Adriaan Moors, Jason Zaugg, Paul Phillips, Eugene Burmako and others. + +`dotty.tools.dotc.core.pickling` + +> The classfile readers were adapted from the Scala compiler. Original authors were Martin Odersky, Iulian Dragos, Matthias Zenger and others. + +`dotty.tools.dotc.parsing` + +> The lexical and syntactic analysis components were adapted from the Scala compiler. They were originally authored by Martin Odersky, +> Burak Emir, Paul Phillips, Adriaan Moors, Lex Spoon, Sean McDermid and others. + +`dotty.tools.dotc.reporting` + +> Adapted from `scala/scala` with some heavy modifications. They were originally authored by Matthias Zenger, Martin Odersky, +and others. + +`dotty.tools.dotc.typer` + +> Some minor components (e.g. the ConstantFolder) were adapted from `scala/scala`. The rest is new. + +`dotty.tools.dotc.util` + +> The utilities package is a mix of new and adapted components. The files in `scala/scala` were originally authored by many people, +> including Paul Phillips, Martin Odersky, Sean McDermid, and others. + +`dotty.tools.io` + +> The I/O support library was adapted from current Scala compiler.
