Works here. Closed source can be handled with path-based dependencies and private checkouts.
Configurations are handled by... dub configurations. Targets? by dub targets.
Still cannot easily develop closed source dlls on Windows. On Linux every symbol is public by default, but on Windows not so it's needed to export them manually.
Not anymore, you can use the "export" keyword for Windows (eg with LDC >= 1.2).
Every-symbol-public-by-default in Posix is annoying though :)
For me, it seems like Walter is solving edge case problems like return ref parameters and return functions but is unable to add some basic stuff.
Because **everyone has its own, different opinion of what the "basic stuff which is absolutely needed" is**, and adding all of that would be 3x the size of D and unpleasant. For starters, some of us would like stuff to be _removed_, not added.
It's like a tradition: each new generation of D users ask for the additional, "must-have" features of the day.
