I have never used Dgame before, but what immediately stands out is that it's pretty well organized. Your website also does a great job at explaining how to use the library and the tutorials are well done. There is even a style guide for contributors. It really seems that quite a bit of work and care went into making this. Thanks. Yes, it was my favorite project at that time and I was really into it. I am curious to know why you are no longer using D? Is it more that personal and professional life has taken up your free time, or have you found something else where you would prefer to invest your time and energy? Or was it something about the D language or community that initiated the change? A little bit of everything you said. D was a very welcome experience before C++11 came, but there are more modern approaches now, for me it's Rust: rich ocosystem, easy to install and update, easy to install packages, almost no bugs (at least I haven't experienced any so far in the last ~4 years) great IDE support and no GC! That why I'm doing almost everything today in Rust. I've even convinced my coworkers that we should use Rust. It has so many tutorials and works out of the box. That sums it up, I have no reason to use D anymore. :)

The first problem the Language Maintainers identified with this
approach is that the rewrite is from an expression to a
statement, rendering it invalid.
The expression should be rewritten as an expression to clarify
how it behaves in larger expressions.
Couldn't that just be rewritten as something like
fun(tuple(10).expand);
?

The attribute spam is almost longer than the function itself.
I often wished for something like
module foo.bar;
default(@safe, pure);
function foo() { } // is annotated with @safe & pure
@deny(pure) // or pure(false) as I suggested a long time ago
function bar() { } // is annotated only with @safe
That would IMO lighten the burden.
Re: Tilix 1.7.9 Released

The list of changes is available here: https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/2018/04/28/release-1-7-9 As always, I'm always looking for people who are interested in contributing, PRs welcome. Finally a big thank you to Mike Wey who has continued to work on and evolve GtkD. Working on libraries is often behind the scenes work that doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. I was struck by a recent reddit post on the gnome shell memory leak which involved C and javascript, it mentioned how difficult it is to merge two different memory models. Mike has managed this with aplomb in terms of integrating the Gtk reference counting into D's GC. So thanks Mike, your efforts are much appreciated! Since I'm on Windows I sadly can't use it, but I suggested it to my colleagues - which are using Ubuntu - half a year ago and they use it since then and still love it. So keep up the good work! :)
