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.
found this about LDC. Do you know if there are plans for D2 on LLVM.

"Do you know if there are plans for D2 on LLVM?"
I think others would know better than myself though I have previously
surmised from this ng that D implementation for LLVM is waning at the
moment.
