Hello
I am Abhishek Kumar,computer science student from India.I am
interested in working on D language during GSoC 2016.I found
"GDC Project - The GNU D Compiler" interesting.
I have interest in programming languages and compilers.I have
been working on a Python to C++ code converter,also I am
writing a Javascript parser for code minification in
Scala(Using scala fastparse). I have prior open source
experience in Scala and good knowledge of C/C++.
Can someone help me with how to start and get familiar with
D?
I'll be glad to have your help and suggestions.
Thanks
Abhishek Kumar
Hello
Thanks for your help.I am reading D and hope I'll get familiar
shortly.Can you give me some
beginner friendly task to get acquainted with the D compiler?
Thanks
Abhishek Kumar
Once you've familiarized yourself with the basics of using D, you
can read this:
http://wiki.dlang.org/Starting_as_a_Contributor
To help you get started contributing.
You can also learn a lot just by going onto D's Github
organization and reviewing some of the open pull requests:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pulls
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pulls
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pulls
For GDC, specifically, you'll need to talk to Ian Buclaw, as that
is mostly his project. (But it shares most of its D-specific code
with Walter Bright's DMD compiler, so you should still checkout
the links I gave above.)
