The recent thread about how to solve the problem of odd looking
function attributes gave me an idea to have a page that
explains why certain decisions were made in the language.
Instead of having to write a long thought out response every
time someone asks a question who isn't aware of previous
discussion, you can respond with a link to the page.
I've created such a page in the wiki!
http://wiki.dlang.org/Language_Designs_Explained
Currently the explanations are in the form of FAQ. I left one
question unanswered since I don't know the answer so I
encourage someone who does to check it out and fill it in :)
Since a wiki page is not the same as a forum post, I would like
to encourage people who add questions and answers to be as
detailed as necessary. No one wants to read a novel but every
detail you leave out will end up making someone come back to
the forums to ask about whatever was missing from the page.
This is good and usefull. The D wiki itself is good because the
content is clearly exposed on the homepage...for example and 'in
comparison', this one http://wiki.freepascal.org/ is badly
designed.
