It would be great to have translations of this tour to other 
languages.

Is it hard to add language selection?
I could help with Russian translation...


It shouldn't be hard, because the technical basis is there; it 
just needs to be made available to the user.


But I would suggest waiting until to start an effort to translate 
the tour into other languages until the content has gone through 
some rounds of reviewing and the number of pulls/errors in the 
content is very low.


Another more fundamental question: Is a translation really needed 
for the tour? I am not a native speaker but I still prefer 
reading technical stuff in English especially when English is the 
language of the original. It's hard for me to estimate the value 
of a translation..


Thanks & regards,

we pushed 2 new projects:

a native kafka driver to work with the vibe.d eventloop
http://code.dlang.org/packages/kafka-d
it's not full featured yet (no zookeeper) but the basic use 
cases work fine.
throughput depends on the buffer sizes but we achieved gigabit 
speeds in benchmarks.

thanks to Piotr for most of the implementation.


The news on Kafka are really great! Thanks a lot for the work! 
Did you inform the Kafka developers that there is a new language 
supported? Maybe this could be added to this Wiki page which 
lists all supported libs and languages:
