Dear D users,
after a long time evaluating all options I think I finally committed to
D and vibe.d! Since I’ll have a lot of memory usage and I want to do an
MMORPG I always was scared off by GC-enabled languages, but after
thoroughly evaluating what this language (and vibe.d) gives me in terms
of performance, memory usage (this is especially important, a lot of
GC-languages like Java have unacceptable memory bloat for objects etc.)
and productivity I think this is the best decision. Obviously I’ll have
some work to do later to move most of the objects out of the GC (they
usually live from the start of the server to the end of the server) but
I now thinks that this work is still a lot less then all the other work
combined. I especially like the built-in contract programming,
invariants and unit-tests and I think they’ll be worth a lot! And even
more awesome is the compile-time reflection for serialization (very
important for my projects).
So, what I actually wanted to ask, which part/project do you think
mostly needs contribution? The D documentation on this page? Mono-D
(I’ll be using that, already contributed to an issue)? DUB? vibe.d and
its documentation? More tutorials on a seperate blog?
We could use some help with all of those. It's hard to choose.
