General Problems

  • Handling units
    • Julia needs new units packages which don't overuse types
    • This is way more general than chem/mat. sci. (agreed)

Structures and interfaces

  • A common interface for atoms, molecules, lattices, crystals ?
  • Common parameters (structures, basis sets, ...) ?
  • Interesting external packages to integrate (ASE, Chemfiles, MolSSI, Lammps, ...) ?
  • Inter-code communication ?

What is needed to specify a model in a "universal" way?

Several concepts for generic interfaces were proposed, which I've split out into separate documents...
