Hi!
I am polishing up this stuff:
http://dlang.dzfl.pl/
It would allow to run examples from http://dlang.org directly
in web-browser.
Something like http://dpaste.dzfl.pl, but integrated with dlang
website itself.
I would like to ask you about your opinions and advises.
There are couple things I can't make my mind on.
First, should standard input and command line arguments be
constant defined in hidden html fields, or should we allow user
to pick their own?
It would allow for more freedom and experience but on
other-hand it would bloat too much website. Whats your opinion?
I think, that we should allow user to specify arguments whenever
it is possible and reasonable.
Another thing are examples itself. As you may noticed I
modified some of em too give some experience in browser, for
example, I've added writeln blocks in Power section.
What should we do with 'em? Examples to run properly requires
main functions, and loads of examples doesn't have them. Should
we adjust those examples or leave them alone? Another thing are
examples that doesn't return or display anything.
Like assert(foo !is null); examples. Should we make them throw,
add some writelns or leave them alone?
I would love to hear your opinion on those.
I would go with adjusting them, to make output cleaner. Idea to
replace assert(...) with writeln() sounds good.

Overall, stuff you made is quite impressive, keep it going!
