excel-d lets you write plain D code that can be run from Excel
unmodified via the magic of compile-time reflection.
Other than bug fixes, the main new feature since 0.2.15 is
@Async. Slap it on a function like so:
@Async
double myfunc(double d) {
// ...
return ret;
}
And it will be executed in a separate thread. Useful for long
running calculations / tasks so that they don't block the UI or
other calculations in the worksheet.
Since the last time it was posted to announce, it also has these
new features:
* `Any` variant type. When a D function needs to be passed more
than one type of Excel value (e.g. string or double). This also
works when a function takes arrays of `Any` such as `Any[]` or
`Any[][]`.
* `std.datetime.DateTime` support. Declare one of the parameters
as `DateTime`, type in a date in Excel and things just work.
* D functions/delegates can be registered to be run when the XLL
is closed.
* D functions to be called from Excel no longer need to be
`nothrow`.
