ae's json uses .tupleof, and does it in 40(!)* lines of code. * Well there's a helper function that escapes some strings, but in essence it's 40 lines of code that do most of the work. I think I'm going to print this out, frame it, and put it on a wall because it's just so damn concise: https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/master/utils/json.d#L69 (This is Vladimir's code for those not in the know) > > ae.utils.json <-- this will be not as "cool" as writing it raw binary? :p > > Must be subjective. I find json output cooler that binary. :p Yeah and again if there are no references he can simply use the cast(void*)[0..len] trick. The challenge would be to implement this for reference types.
