Even though D doesn't have a text macro preprocessor, this can be
done using string mixins and a bit of CTFE.
Very cool article. Thanks Walter, I'll try to remember to pass that
on to my grandkids :-)
Also on that DDJ page I saw the ad for the Samsung Bada developer
challenge.

There is some decent $prize money on offer here. Of course you have
to use the Samsung Bada SDK which I understand is C++.
Naturally we would all delight in one of the winning entires being
some Bada app written in D.
Now thinking about a killer app for D, me thinks it doesn't really
matter what that app really does or if even it is really lame.
The real kill would come from a D app winning a prize in the Bada
Developer Challenge.
So wadda you reckon?
what processor/s are we talking about? I'm guessing ARM.
GDC is a bit out dated isn't it? (GDC being the only D compiler that
might support ARM processors)

ARM is probably right. ARM, handhelds, mobile etc is where all the
action is at the moment.
You are dead right about GDC; it's dead and nowhere near D2.
D (D2) needs a marketing and rollout plan. One good such plan would
embrace ARM, handhelds, mobile etc.
Hint, hint. Golden (marketing) opportunities like this do not come
around very often.
