for example disable `preBuildCommands` by editing it to
`preBuildCommandsDISABLED`. I don't think you can comment out a

What about the following idea about **comments for dub.json**:
Allow the key "comment" inside the json file and alter DUB to
remove all "comment" key value pairs at the beginning of parsing.
So the file is still valid json but comments are possible like in
dub.sdl.

Nice example for operator overload resulting in readable linear algebra expressions
I just want to share a view lines of code.
The availability of operator overloading can result in very short
and precise code for linear algebra.
To test/explore it a little I just modified the alias this
example:
```
#!/usr/bin/env rdmd
struct Point
{
double[2] p;
// Forward all undefined symbols to p
alias p this;
auto opBinary(string op)(Point rhs)
{
static if (op == "+")
{
Point ret;
ret[0] = p[0] + rhs.p[0];
ret[1] = p[1] + rhs.p[1];
return ret;
}
else static if (op == "-")
{
Point ret;
ret[0] = p[0] - rhs.p[0];
ret[1] = p[1] - rhs.p[1];
return ret;
}
else static if (op == "*")
return p[0] * rhs.p[0] + p[1] * rhs.p[1];
else
static assert(0, "Operator " ~ op ~ " not
implemented");
}
}
void main()
{
import std.stdio;// : writefln,write;
// Point behaves like a `double[2]` ...
Point p1, p2;
p1 = [2, 1], p2 = [1, 1];
// ... but with extended functionality
writef("p1*(p1 + p2) = %s*(%s + %s) =", p1, p1, p2);
write(p1 * (p1 + p2)); // compare this to code without
operator overload:
}
```
Compare: ``p1 * (p1 + p2)`` to something with a structure like
``dot(p1,(add(p1,p2)).``
(With the Dlangs UFCS it might become: ``p1.dot(p1.add(p2))`` )

You can define a `toString` method, like this:

You can find more information about `toString` in the
documentation here:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_format_write.html
By the way, the reason your original version does not work is
that `p` is `private`, so `writeln` cannot access it. If you
change `p` to be `public`, it will work without a `toString`
method.
Thank you, just removing ``private `` and it worked!

Hello, if you take the example from the home page, with the
additional last line:

private double[2] p;
// Forward all undefined symbols to p
alias p this;
double dot(Point rhs)
{

import std.stdio : writeln;
// Point behaves like a `double[2]` ...
Point p1, p2; p1 = [2, 1], p2 = [1, 1];
assert(p1[$ - 1] == 1);
// ... but with extended functionality
writeln("p1 dot p2 = ", p1.dot(p2));
// additional line:
writeln(p1); // is not possible !
}
```
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/format.d(3193): Error: no [] operator
overload for type Point
..

How to define, that for Point the same formatting should be used
as for double[2] ?

So when compiling with DMD my reg!("") expression is using

When compiling with LDC (for release) I use the ctRegex version,

The (alias var) combined with the check if the var is known at
compile time:
__traits(compiles, {enum ctfeFmt = var;}
I have to admit that the idea was mine, but the crafting only

"This often seems to confuse people at first, especially those
coming from other languages"
I think what's confusing people is that enum (short for
ENUMERATION) is suddenly used like a constant/alias.
I don't get why it confuses people.
In all languages I know (C, C++, Java, Pascal, etc..) they are
used to associate a compile time symbols with some quantities,
i.e. the definition of constants.
When an enumeration only consists of 1 value, then the
enumeration is this value itself.
Yes and no, because the fist case for using enum described at [1]
is something very different:
This defines a new type X which has values X.A=0, X.B=1, X.C=2:
enum X { A, B, C } // named enum
[1] https://dlang.org/spec/enum.html
And it might be good to change the docs to point out the very
often taken use case for declaring a singe compile time constant.

NEW Milestone: 1500 packages at code.dlang.org
Hi all, I am very happy to be the first to announce this here: 1500 D packages available via DUB at code.dlang.org ! Now as the pure volume of solutions gets more and more impressive, we have to find better ways to enhance quality and stability. The "Score" indicator is a very good step. A field, probably at first just manually set by the owner, giving latest tested dmd version might give a good way to filter for well maintained packages. My second wish is to start a general effort to adopt several packages by D Foundation to ensure they keep updated. So a big "Thank You", to all the great people building D and its ecosystem!

However, being the awesome guy he is, he insisted we only help out in covering the server costs. So that's what we're setting out to do with the new campaign. He has a list of options to improve the forum performance, one of which he recently implemented (moving the database to a new partition). A new server with more resources and an SSD should show an even bigger win. Then he can take the time to do his other optimizations at his leisure. We're asking the community to contribute $2000 to cover the new server for one year, with a little bit extra for any incidentals that arise. This is a campaign we want to make an annual event so that Vladimir never has to pay out of pocket for the server again. The campaign is available from the menu on the Donate page, but you can go straight to it here: https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/NDkzNjc= And if you also want to support Vladimir in the broader work he does on all the open source software he puts out, he has a Patreon page that is looking pretty empty right now: https://www.patreon.com/cybershadow Next month, I'll be launching Round 2 of the PR Manager campaign for another three months of PR trimming goodness. We pulled in $3,124 from Round 1, so the extra $124 will be used for a head start on Round 2. I'll put all of this in a blog post in the next few days, along with some other info. I would like to donate for this, but flipcause does not seem to work for me at all: I tried to make the donation several times, but after entering all the details and payment details and clicking on "Finish", I either got a message saying something like "Sorry, your session expired. Redirecting you to 'Home'" or i was simply redirected to 'Home' without any message. Considering the other comments in this thread, it seems like I am not the only one who has issues like that. Maybe you should get in touch with flipcause in order to try to resolve these issues. I now, know a little more, first I had the same behavior, with the session expired message, than at the third try it seemed to go trough but, it didn't. I called my bank and they where so nice to ask at the mastercard service what hat happened, the result was, that my card was not using / registered for "Mastercard® Secure Code" But this security feature was requested by flipcause, and so the process was canceled. The bad thing is, that no appropriate information about this was returned to me. I think, for a service with a relatively high monthly fee, this should work better, because the core feature.

The campaign (https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/NDUwNTY=is) is now at 614$ (goal 3000$), so that keeping this performance since the first donation (11/10) would give the missing 2386$ in app 51 days: => We need another 74 supporters with an average of 32$.

An important feature flipcause really is missing is paypal, as a payment method. To be able to donate without credit card. - Yes there are people not using credit cards if they can avoid it, especially in Europe.

Eh, those are kinda opaque sequences anyway, since the meanings aren't quite what the normal dictionary definition is anyway. Look up "int" in the dictionary... or "void", or even "string". They are just a handful of magic sequences we learn with the programming language. (And in languages like Rust, "fn", lol.) Well, even on top of that, the standard library is full of English words that read very coherently when used together (if you understand English).

Motivation: --- - makes building the dub-registry faster - people hosting a mirror or a private instance don't need to host the documentation too - allows us to use a separate, more modern design for the dub docs (proposals are welcome!) - makes it easier for people contributing the docs (less code and dependencies to build) - allows us to remove the menu header at code.dlang.org and replace it with a nice, modern search bar - makes the deployment for the documentation easier (they are static HTML after all) and we have already setup continuous deployment for the documentation (via Netlify) As always, ideas and PRs to make DUB's documentation better are welcome. PS: Of course all old documentation links will redirect to dub.pm Very ++ :-) There should be a big section for well done dub.sdl / dub.json examples. What about defining "comment" as an special keyword for the .json parser inside Dub (just ignoring the content") to allow some kind comments inside .json In the moment only dub.sdl may be more descriptive with #comments. But many people prefer .json where no comments are build in. So allow to write "comment" : "This string will will be parsed away", may do the difference? Best regards mt.

I now have a build. I believe 1.1 should be the default if available, falling back to 1.0, 0.9,… It would be very useful if dub would be able to check for missing libs. It seams stupid, that after successful compilation you get the linker error. Even if the needed libs are named different on different systems, it would be cool to collect the information what is needed in the dub.sdl/dub.json file. So directly at the beginning you get a hint what is missing. And how to fix it, especially if you use a system like Debian (/Ubuntu) I ran into the exactly same chain of error messages, fixing them with the help of others, and some search, this is not the most convenient experience if you start with vibe.d.
