Russel Winder Phobos/QML: std.parallelism,
std.benchmark
[…]
Not sure about Phobos here but D really does need to be able to
connect
to QML. This proposal is therefore to create a way of
communicating
between D codes and QML engines via signals and slots. The
model here is
the Go/QML system. It works very well, but isn't D.
std.parallelism needs a review and some benchmarking, prior to
making
improvements: some of the things David put into it are not as
performant
as it would be nice for them to be. As part of this is would be
good to
have a standard benchmarking framework, hence the idea of
std.benchmark.
However there is no need for it to be in std (and hence Phobos)
in the
first instance. So the project(s) would be to create a
comparative
benchmarking framework that can then be used to analyse
std.parallelism
on a more scientific basis than I and others have done to date.
Hopefully this is not too late and can be iterated to something
that can
be posted. Is the idea to have a wiki for this, or mayhap a
Git/Mercurial/Bazaar/Fossil repository with pull requests?
We still have lots of time to flesh out ideas - things don't need
to be finalized until February. Thanks for giving some more info
on your proposed projects. I am sort of slow ... so if I can get
things in advance that is always good.
