Pinging bearophile on this again - do you want to adapt this into a
blog entry? It may be worth posting the link to reddit as is, but one
adaptation pass for a larger audience shouldn't hurt.
Let us know!
Thank you for your interest. I like to write articles, but there are
significant problems related to that post:
- It's a soup of very different things;
- It suggests things like stream fusion that I think aren't yet
discussed in the D community;
- I think it's not good for consumption outside the D community, it
focuses on details mostly important for the development of D/Phobos;
- I think some of its contents are half cooked and need some more of
my reflection;
- I do not like to show a text two times.
Bye,

I just wanted to say that I also liked the article and I understand why
the others would want you to repost it. I think the strengths outweigh
the weaknesses you mention, but I do understand nto wanting to show the
thing twice.
I, too, understand that, with the amendment that it's an unwarranted
concern. I used to worry about that, too (e.g. not give the same talk
twice) until I understood that the overlap in audiences is very small,
and the people comprising the overlap understand and approve of the
reasons for repeating.
