I take that as a compliment. Thanks! The rest of you, take that
as a challenge. ;)
What I would like to read about would be LuaD [4] or ctRegex [5],
because they are great demos of CTFE.
The auto-tester would be worth an article as well. Not about the
implementation details, but about its features and the PR
workflow.
Also, some embedded D use like kernel or freestanding stuff.
None of these are "I fixed something in D" though. Hm, Taking a
look through the recent 072 changelog, I found two items which
could be worth a story:
* std.range.padLeft and std.range.padRight were added (if someone
can write comedy and wants to take some jabs at the Javascript
leftPad story)
* std.range.generate fixed to be a proper range (I remember some
heated discussion about the semantics of front)
