Hi, the subject refers to my current state of sadness after trying to dig into D programming for a few days. I've been very exited after reading "The D programming language", but I've doubts now.
- There's no "standard" library to read a single character from the console. Instead people write their own personal helper libraries. - I looked into GtkD, which refers to the build tool DSSS. However DSSS seems to be unmaintained for a couple of years. (Why does every new language needs its own build tool?) - I looked for a PostgreSQL client library. I found small personal hacks and dead projects. - I looked at http://www.dsource.org/forums - most forums are dead. Is it possible that D is a dead language? For a newbie like me it would be very helpful to have a list of good, healthy projects for my first steps in D instead of finding cadavers all around. Typesafe, the company behind Scala, maintains a "Typesafe Stack" of active, recommendable projects. Please don't be offended by this message. I just wanted to provide feedback and will keep trying to get into D. Thank you very much for this wonderful language! Best regards, Thomas Koch
