 ### Maturin
 
-[**Maturin**]() was the first build-system I explored. Its unique approach of
-building Python bindings for Rust libraries intrigued me, and I wondered if it
-could provide a novel solution to the lab's needs. The seamless blending of
-Python and Rust offered the potential for unparalleled performance and memory
-efficiency in research projects. However, I faced a steep learning curve to
-master the intricacies of Rust and its integration with Python. Overcoming these
-challenges was a significant achievement, and I managed to create a functional
-prototype that demonstrated Maturin's potential to revolutionize the
-Open-Science Lab's workflow. My contribution to this issue is

-After merging this pull request, I started to add support for `Hatchling`
-build-system.

 ### Hatchling
 
-[**Hatchling**]() known for its user-friendly nature, was my next target. It
-promised to simplify the build and deployment processes, which could be
-particularly beneficial for newcomers to the lab and projects with
-straightforward requirements. Integrating Hatchling into the lab's ecosystem
-required thorough documentation and integration tests to ensure its smooth
-adoption. Overcoming initial hurdles, I was elated to see the positive response
-from the lab's community as they began adopting Hatchling for their projects. My

 After completetion of this issue, I jumped to a task to add support for
 `Scikit-Build-Core`.
 
 ### Scikit-build-core
 
-[**Scikit-build-core**]() a cross-platform build-system, offered a robust option
-for integrating CPython extensions. While challenging to implement, I recognized
-its potential to support projects with complex native code dependencies. My
-experience with Scikit-build exposed me to advanced build and packaging
-concepts, and I was thrilled to see it complementing the existing build-systems
-in the lab, catering to a broader range of projects. My contribution to this
-issue is [here](https://github.com/osl-incubator/scicookie/pull/161)

 ### Conclusions
 
 In conclusion, my Google Summer of Code experience with implementing new
-build-systems for the Open-Science Lab was a transformative journey. Overcoming
-hurdles with Maturin, embracing user-friendliness with Hatchling, exploring the
-potential of Scikit-build.I realized the importance of innovation and
-adaptability in the world of open-source development. This experience has not
-only enriched my technical skills but also instilled in me a passion for
-contributing to projects that drive positive change in the world of scientific
-research. As I look to the future, I am excited to continue this journey,
-collaborating with the open-source community to create solutions that empower
-researchers and advance the boundaries of knowledge.
